It depends. What is your employer's regular work week and what days/hours do you work?

Its possible that it has something to do with your two hours for cleaning the office. They may classify those differently so that it looks like you work 38 hours at your regular job and 2 hours of office cleaning. If so, it could make it look like you had 40 hours at your regular job, 2 hours cleaning, and one hour overtime.

You should bring it up with HR. They may not have intended to only pay you for 1 hour of overtime, it might just be the way things are coded that made that happen.

Also, graveyard shift is tricky since a single shift can actually run into 2 different days, and by extension even into a different week.
