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.

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.
