Best Answer

The employer can ask, however, it's your decision to accommodate or not. An employer cannot force you to work without pay. The question is, can you trust the employer, and can you survive without pay.

Depends. In some cases if it is part of the job, yes. An example of this is teachers. We are required to work extra duties as part of our job. Back to School Nights, Open House, football games, dances, graduation are considered part of our job and no extra pay is given for these things. I imagine other jobs and companies have similar requirements.((teachers on average also get 10-12 weeks vacation each summer the longest paid vacation of any profession in the US...))

Bad answer. All employees non-exempt from federal wage law must be paid for every hour worked. Those in exempt professional and management jobs must be paid for every DAY worked - no reduction for missing less than a full day.

An overtime-exempt worker works as long as required to get the day's work done, but NEVER works a day for free. An overtime-eligible worker never works an HOUR for free.

The question is unclear. . . for WHAT job? An employer cannot force you to work for no pay - but as long as he is paying you a wage he can pretty much direct you to perfrom any work that he feels needs done. If you don't like it you have the freedom of resigning.

Strictly speaking, no. If they require you to work, they must pay you. However, people that get paid by salary, in most states, make a certain amount of money no matter how many hours they work.
