The FLSA says we only have to pay overtime for actual hours worked. https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/wages/overtimepay
So, the hours worked early and late are subject to overtime. If the workers did not take advantage of your free half day and actually worked the entire day or part of the time allowed off, they would be due overtime for any hours worked over 40 that week. If you are in California or Alaska let me know. Because that will change the picture a bit.
Overtime is not due for the paid time off that was not actually worked.
