Yes, as long as they pay you the right amount for the work. Some states have maximum work-day laws and/or laws requiring a certain amount of time between shifts. It depends on the state.

employers can do pretty much any thing they want within their policies and procedures. I worked for a company for 17 years and overtime was mandatory almost everyday but we wouldnt know until 2 hours before the shift ended how long the overtime would last. for example: i would punch in at 6:00am and at noon that day they would post on the board by the time clock mandatory overtime up to 6 hours hours (because the state law in wisconsin is 17 hours)
if its not too late go to college or get an education for a better job. Iwasted alot of time and missed out on alot because of corporate basterds.

Depends on the industry and the laws, but ultimately, if it is stated at the time of hire, then yes. Can they make you work mandatory overtime after hiring you? This is a little more unclear.

Employer cannot mandate Overtime. If employee is volunatarily accept the Overtime then the employer has to give him more money defined in the Law.

Yes, but the employer is limited to the amount of hours per day you can work (based on age).

in our great democracy employers are tyrants and rule their kingdom pretty much as they wish you would be surprised of all the things you think you are protected by law and there is none where i live to my knowledge overtime rules are a suggestion by OSHA who can enforce safety issues but no law we used to have some protection but thanks to Reaganomics and recent labor law changes we're pretty much undervalued and overworked

It depends where you are Cow whiskers ( like your name) When asking a question I have found it better to say more about where you are asking from, and reasons why ETC

IRS did it when I worked there years ago, so if the feds can do it, I'd say YEP.
