Certain jobs like police, medical, armed forces & now even media the one which you work is 24 hours job which may be without any day off. These terms & conditions are told to the employee joining such services. No doubt the employee is fully compensated both financially as well by granting paid leaves for any overtime job they do in such services. Now in you case if you have not been given these facilities, then you should ask for these from your boss. Since you are working in an industry concerning media you are covered by the Industrial Dispute Act & other Industrial/labor laws concerning the employees of the industry. You should contact your regional Labor Commissioner dealing with matter relating to The Minimum Wages Act 1948 which provides for the minimum wages as well fixing working hours for any employee working in any industry.

depends on where you live. here in the united states you are (in most states) given 2 days off a week and a maximum of 35-40 hours being considered "full time"
any time over that you are not *required* to work if you're not inclined to do so. however, if you are so inclined to do so, your employer is required to pay you an additional amount to your hourly salary to compensate for those hours. In NJ it's time and 1/2.
if you live in the US, contact your local labor board and ask them what the regulations are as far as your state goes. or you can add additional details to this post and we can try and help you figure it out.

U.S. law requires employess to be paid extra for overtime work:

If you're in another country, the laws may be different, but most countries have some kind of government labor department that regulates these matters.

You did not mention weather or not you are legal or illegal, as ther are certain changes in this area,and an employer may feel he has more control over you, depending on your status.... laws may vary in different states....
