Yes, generally an employer can require an employee to work overtime. Employers have the power to dictate the employee's work schedule and hours. Additionally, under most circumstances the employer may discipline an employee, up to and including termination, if the employee refuses to work scheduled overtime.
This depends on what state you live in. Each state regulates their own labor law under the large umbrella of federal labor laws. Federally, an employer can force an employee to work whatever hours they are needed as long as the employee is over 18.

if they do then u can ask for extra pay
if they dont give
then u can claim for physical harassment
Very bad answer above. You do not ASK for overtime pay - if you earn it, it is paid to you. You cannot complain about "physical harassment" a fabricated phrase. You can complain about race harassment, sex harassment, age harassment. Those are unrelated to overtime.
No employer can compel any amount of work. They can demand it, and you decide whether to comply. No force is involved.

∙ 16y agoOf course not! Working overtimes just means that you want to do extra work in the company but that also means that you will gain more money per hour too!

∙ 9y agoYes, your employer can penalize you for not working mandatory overtime. You are responsible for being at work when your employer needs you.

∙ 14y agoIf you signed a hire contract that states the need to occasional mandatory overtime, and you do not accept it, then that is all the basis that an employer needs to justify termination.

Can you work overtime?
Yes, employees may work overtime, whether authorized or unauthorized. However, employers can discipline an employee if he or she violates the employer's policy of working overtime without the required authorization. In California however, an employee should be compensated for any hours he or she is "suffered or permitted to work, whether or not required to do so." Thus, employers must pay overtime, whether authorized or not, at the rate of one and one-half times the employee's regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of eight up to an including 12 hours in any workday, and for the first eight hours of work on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek.

Is it legal to take away overtime hours that an employee worked?
It all depends on your compant's policy on overtime. If they state that overtime pay and work is not allowed, they can actually terminate you for working hours over your scheduled shift. If they allow overtime, they must pay you that time. Each state has different rules in regards to overtime pay, and I would check with your state agency. Also, a certain amount of days without a break (example 6 days in a row) as long as the hours work out to 40 per week, that extra day of work would not be counted as overtime.
If you can work overtime can you get fired?
I am unsure how working overtime might protect you from being fired, but, yes, you can always be fired.
