I just got a customer service position. At training they said something about not getting O/T for over eight hours a day, but I am not sure about over 40 hours per week.
They are also open 24/7 even on Christmas. They said they have the new workers so the workers that have been there for a while get off on weekends and holidays.
Can they force me to work on Christmas. I never have in my whole life. I believe in Christ and Christmas is very sacred to me.
There are emergency calls on the graveyard shift, but I don't even do those. You need special training for them.
Does anyone know if they can force me to work on Christmas, or take the chance of getting fired, because I don't do emergency calls..

If they are open on Chrsitmas, yes they can schedule you to work and could fire you if you don't. I don't know about the overtime. Some places, it's time and a half on a holiday, but not all places.

Well at this point they can pretty much fire you for sneezing. If you haven't got your time in .. say 60 or 90 days. you should look into that. I think there is a law tho that states (regardless) that after such amount of hrs worked there is O/T. know your rights. talk to someone.
