Is it illegal in AR to not be paid for mandatory meetings outside of work hours?

Tomorrow evening, I am being made to go back into work 6-9pm for a mandatory meeting/class. I go in at 8 so I normally am in bed by 9, so this is effecting my sleeping time. I normally work 8-6 with an hour break 1-2 for lunch. On my next paycheck, I will have around 10 hours of overtime, but they do not pay overtime wages. (I work at a daycare, so I am not sure if we are exempt from that. I do know that there are some exemptions in AR, but I am just not sure exactly what.) This is the second mandatory meeting I have had to come to since I started here, but this is the longest one there has been. We are never paid for them. Should I report this?
