Let's say start time is in B2 and end time in C2.

If regular working hours are up to 12 hours, the formula for regular working time is

=MIN(MOD(C2-B1,1),TIME(12,0,0))

and that for overtime

=MAX(MOD(C2-B2,1)-TIME(12,0,0),0)

Format the cells with these formulas as h:mm.

If you want the result as decimal hours, for example 8.5 instead of 8:30, use

=24*MIN(MOD(C2-B1,1),TIME(12,0,0))

and

=24*MAX(MOD(C2-B2,1)-TIME(12,0,0),0)

and format the cells with these formulas as General or as Number.
