Hi Amy,
I read your question and decided to do a little research on the DOL's web site.  The following is a direct quote from the wage & hour law FLSA:
"The Act does not limit either the number of hours in a day or the number of days in a week that an employer may require an employee to work, as long as the employee is at least 16 years old. Similarly, the Act does not limit the number of hours of overtime that may be scheduled. However, the Act requires employers to pay covered employees not less than one and one‑half times their regular rates of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 in a workweek, unless the employees are otherwise exempt."

I found the information at the following link:
http://www.dol.gov/compliance/guide/minwage.htm

However, the first question that should be asked is really does this person qualify for exempt status?  I don't know enough information about this man's job requirements & responsibilities to help on this one.  But if he's not eligible for exempt status, then he must be paid time and a half for all hours worked in excess of 40 per work week.  The work week being defined by the employer.  Hope this helps answer your question. 

Take Care,
