Some people will try to cheat you by having you work 10 hours a day for 4 days and not pay OT. anything over 8 hours/day is also OT.

Three different jurisdictions in this area and it behooves you to know the pertinent labor laws in all three so you do not get screwed.

Not according to the federal gov't. Some states have different rules, but the feds don't care if you work 40 hours in 3 days or 5. Those first 40 are at regular rate.
