any one out there have knowledge regarding labor laws?

Humm labor laws are different in some states if you put in Labor Laws in
your search bar for the state your in sure it will come up with some
information for you why what is it your trying to find out.

what do you need to know ?

can u make someone work over 40 hours? come in on their day off with 1
day notice?

I don't know how it is in your state buttons but here in Ontario if it a
scheduled day off then you do not have to work it.

Depends on what your contract says but no one can be forced to work
overtime or more than 48 hrs in a week, according to govt regulations.
Also because of overtime you can t fall below standard min wage for hrs
worked.

If the topic is Forced overtime.

Boss has the right to say, won't work extra, then I don't have a job for
you. He will prob. have to pay unemployment, but would depend on how
the matter is presented.

As a former employer, I would never do that, but if there was not a
good reason for the employee not helping me; I had second thoughts about
helping them

You help me/ I help you. Makes the world go around.

thanks thats what i thought i guess depends on if it is a union job or
not also. so it should of been stated in new hire papers.i think that
was his question..

I had that fight once and lost..as a truck driver I said that
I didn't have the hours but I was wrong,,lol

Now as factory goes, if you refuse, then most times, they will get YOU
back for it,
by your working weeks hours, (they could cut ya back)
or by riding you at your job.
or they might give you time off, like one or two days,.
or some might just let you go....

So it greatly depends on that place and if they even have anything in
work rules and job duty spec's. wrtten down as policy, because if they
don't, the above could apply!!

I thought,anything over 40 hours a week was O.T.

Well as force you to work overtime they can not force you too but if a
company ask you too and you do not when it is needed after a while that
company can let you go for not meeting the needs of the company. Most
places you will not have a contract you sign. But.... some companys when
you hire on will give you several sheets of paper to go through on
company guide lines I suggest that if you did receive one of these types
of paper work you better read the fine lines cause most will say that if
ask to work overtime they expect it unless you have a good excuse for
after so many excuses you can be let go for not doing what is required
from the company at that time anything over 40 hours is consider as
overtime unless they have fell under a differnt labor laws. So no they
cannot force you to work but yes it can leave you without a job in the
long run if you refuse to ever help them out when they need you too.
Humm at times it's more or less job secruity to work the overtime.

thanks everyone i see were i am at this,thank you all,steven

If you are in a union, consult your union steward.

But no one can be forced to work over 40 hours per week, eight hours per
day. If you are required to work over, your company must provide extra
pay incentives such as time and a half, or something commensurate to
added incentive.

And then, they must ask you if you would like to work over the 40 hour
limit.

I swear, though, it would be better if you were a union member!
