I was just wondering, my employer expects certain (most) employees to work Saturdays. My question is... Once I have obtained my 40 hours worked in 1 week can my employer demand that I work overtime/ more than 40 hours if I don't want to?![]()

there is no federal law limiting the amount of time you can be required to work and I have found no state law limiting it either so, with that, I would say yes, they can require you to work the overtime.
I agree except for some exceptions - for example, minors under a certain age, some nurses, airline pilots, long haul truckers. . .
With limited exceptions, mandatory overtime is legal in all 50 states.
If you don't want to work overtime, find an employer that will not require it.
Bummer,thanks.
