Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 151, Section 1A, if an employee works more than 40 hours in any given week, he or she must be paid "one and half times the regular rate at which he is employed" for any time in excess of 40 hours.  However, you did not specify what your job is, and Section 1A provides the following lengthy list of exempt employees:
 
This section shall not be applicable to any employee who is employed:
(1) as a janitor or caretaker of residential property, who when furnished with living quarters is paid a wage of not less than thirty dollars per week.
(2) as a golf caddy, newsboy or child actor or performer.
(3) as a bona fide executive, or administrative or professional person or qualified trainee for such position earning more than eighty dollars per week.
(4) as an outside salesman or outside buyer.
(5) as a learner, apprentice or handicapped person under a special license as provided in section nine.

If, based on the above information, you believe you are not being paid in accordance with the law, I would try talking to your boss about it.  If that does not work, try contacting the Attorney General's office ((617) 727-2200).  Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 149, Section 150 provides for triple damages for wage law violations.  Good luck.
