Not Sure If I’m Getting Paid for Overwork

I'm a university student, and work for a consultancy company as a student assistant: The contract says; I should work 8 hours a week, but times may vary and exceed 8 hours. They are giving me tasks that take 20 hours a week: communications, fixing reports, customer relations, and more I do not actually mind the many hours besides my studies, but I need to ensure that I get paid! I have registered my hours, according to company policy, but how do I ask in a good way, whether I get paid for working all these extra hours? If they do not pay me for overtime, I will leave, or start working only 8 hours, and not complete tasks outside thereof, but ideally, I just want to get paid for working 20 hours, as that would put me in a good situation as a student.
