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.

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.

Is overtime based on a 40 hour work week or is overtime based on 80 hours bi-weekly In otherwords if you work 46 hours one week and 34 hours another week is overtime due for the fist week?

Paid OvertimeBasically, work more hours than your standard daily working hours, you get over time (over time will be e.g if your on £7 an hour the over time rate will be an extra £3.50 ontop of that) and if you work longer than your week contracted hours of 37.5 or 40 hours, you get over time as above.in my opinion, over time doesnt make an impact on your wage unless your doing atleast 10 hours of over time each week

That would be Federal and State laws. Contact the state's Labor Commissioner, they'll explain it to you. The federal Fair Labor Standards Act specifies which job duties make a worker overtime eligible. FLSA trumps state laws which conflict.


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
