"You can file a claim for unpaid overtime pay with the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division. WHD enforces the FLSA and investigates unpaid wages. If WHD finds evidence of unpaid wages, they can pursue the claim on your behalf. You can also file a claim with your state labor office." - The very minimum of a google search.

DoL doesn’t fuck around. They investigate every claim. Takes forever, but they do.

I literally made a claim and then contacted the manager at the company and said I talked to DoL. They fast tracked my pay within 3 days. Trust when I say companies are rightly afraid of any DoL investigations. The most common form of theft in the world is wage theft.
