no, period.
employment is an at will arrangement, if you dont like it quit, if they dont like you, your fired.
you can agree to work set hours etc.. as one mentioned, if you are a nurse, etc.. but that is not forced overtime, thats simple you choosing to leave an an inopertune moment.

I think they can unless you have some medical letter from your doctor or someone that says you can't. But they can only make you work a certain number of hours per day. Try contacting the Equal Employment Opportunity, Illinois Dept. of Labor http://www.state.il.us/agency/idol/

there's a federal regulation, called the sooner or later in seven regulation, that mandates that all and sundry workers get a minimum of sooner or later without work each week. it particularly is why vehicle dealerships are closed Sundays, or some shops do no longer open some days. So no, it is not legal on your enterprise to make you artwork 12 immediately days--incredibly no longer without beyond popular time.

I don't think so, unles its an emergency in a necessary field, like a hydro worker when the power goes off, or a nurse during a bad storm. What kind of company do you work for?
