The company that I just started to work for says that if I work over 40 hours per week that I just get straight time and NO time and 1/2, does anyone know if that is legal?

No it isn't. Labor laws are set by the federal government. Even if Jersey had a law that said otherwise, fed law would superceed it.
The only industry exempt is agriculture. |

i think that it is not legal unless you are in food service then that is the case |

It might depend upon who you work for and if you're considered seasonal or not.
For most people, most industries, anything over 40 is paid at time and a half. Check the NJ Dept of Labor website |

If you are an hourly worker no it is not legal, however if you are in sales and get a commission or are salaried then yes the can. Also some places work a schedule the gets them a four day week every other week. The work 9 hours a day for 9 days the get the 10th day off for a three day week-end. |
