Everywhere I've worked that did 12s, three 12s was considered a "full-time" position, for benefits purposes, etc., but you still got paid for 36 hours, and overtime was based on the actual number of hours you worked (i.e., three 12s plus an additional 12 in the same week would equal 40 hours straight time and 8 hours OT). But different employers have different policies -- you should ask your employer.

Ok, you work your schedualed week of 3 12's, 1900 - 0700, mon, tues, wed. Fri your boss calls and pleads you to come in and cover a shift. Ok, sure, another 1900-0700.
Here is the question, working your 3 12's, you are getting paid for 40hrs. When you go in and work that extra shift, are you getting paid for another 12hrs? Or just 8hrs, and the first 4 get sucked into limbo as your first 3 12's are actually only 36hrs? Depending on this answer, is your OT paid on 8 or 12hrs for the Friday shift?
Thanks!
