Overtime Law Solution
Because overtime laws only apply to employees, not independent contractors, we had to first challenge their classification, then assert a claim for time and a half for their overtime hours.
After some discovery, we were able to negotiate a payment for all three of them that compensated them for their overtime hours, as well as other damages they had suffered from being misclassified.

Postscript
If you are in a similar situation, remember that just because you are paid as an independent contractor, that does not necessarily mean your classification is lawful. And it does not mean your employer can avoid overtime by calling you a contractor.
If in doubt, you should consult an attorney to review your classification, and help you understand if you are, in fact, owed overtime pay.
