It is refers to a situation where employers require employees to work beyond their regular hours, usually exceeding the standard 40-hour workweek. This extra time is not optional, meaning employees are forced to work these additional hours as part of their job duties. The specific rules governing mandatory overtime vary by country and industry, with labor laws often stipulating compensation, such as higher pay rates for overtime work.
While mandatory overtime can help businesses meet urgent deadlines or increase demand, it can also lead to challenges like employee burnout, lower morale, and decreased productivity if not managed properly. Employers must balance the need for extra labor with the potential negative effects on worker well-being and motivation.

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
