In Pennsylvania what is the limit of overtime hours your employer can MAKE you work Is there a limit to overtime hours or forced overtime hours?
No limit on hours, just overtime on hours over 40 in one work week. If you do not have a contract with your employer limiting the hours, you can be forced to work the hours. This is one of the benefits of belonging to a union, your work hours have been negotiated with your employer, so they can not force you to work extra long hours.
Can an employer force you to take off overtime?
Although the question is nonsensical in part, an employer can require you to do overtime if that is what the job needs. However, if overtime is not needed, you do not work it; overtime is not a part of the job, so you are not taking anything off.
What is forced overtime?
Forced overtime is when an employer makes employees work over their scheduled 40 hours.
Can your employer force you to work the night shift when you were hired to work the day shift?
An employer cannot force anyone to do anything. You can resign, or they can decide to terminate you.
Can an employer change your schedule to avoid overtime. I work five days a week. This week I have training on Saturday. Instead of paying overtime my employer wants to give me Friday off. No weekend?
There is no requirement that they allow you to work overtime. You are being allowed to earn your normal weekly amount.
Could overtime pay make worker work few hours?
Employees work the hours set by the employer. Employers try to avoid working employees in overtime situations. Overtime is designed as a PENALTY on employers.
Can they make you work more than 40 hours a week if your not available?
It depends. Normally, overtime is brought up in work contracts, if you signed one. If not, then you can challenge mandatory overtime (which your employer may challenge, because overtime is USUALLY at a higher rate than normal worktim). If overtime was not discussed in your contract, you can challenge your employer. Hope this helps, -Ubermensch00

Yes mandatory overtime is legal. The only way hours are mandated are for people under the age of 16. If you are over the age of 16 your employer can require you to work overtime in order to keep your employment. There are no laws limiting the number of hours an employer can require a person to work who is over the age of 16.
Can an employer make an employee pay for overtime work incurred to another employee who worked overtime for covering the employee's shift?
I am not a lawyer, but I can't see this being legal anywhere.I can see it being perfectly legal for the employer to fire the employee that made them pay some other employee overtime, though.
