My problem is that when I started working at my job, my employer told me that I would be starting work at 4a.m. every morning. He also mentioned that I may have to come in to work a little earlier when it gets busy. Well, I understand that it is the holidays coming up, but he is having us all come in two hours earlier for several days throughout the week. When he tells us this it is usually the week ahead of time (at most). Then he proceeds to tell us (the employees) that is we do not come in at that time then we are fired. Now my question is that if (on the date hired) he tells us that we have a certain time that we come in everyday is it right to make us work overtime (come in 2 hours earlier)???

Yes. Your employer can change your hours as business needs change unless you have a written contract limiting your hours.

The employer can change anyone's hours at anytime to meet business needs. The only exception is if you have a written contract with the company that lists your hours.
You have a choice; work the hours you are assigned or quit.

Completely legal. Unless you employment contract specifically states that you will only work for x time to x time. Employers schedule their employees on an as needed basis. You are needed earlier. Those are the breaks.

You are employed because your employer conducts a business. He needs people who can help him take care of the needs of the company. If you do not wish to work the hours you are needed, I am sure he can find someone who will.

in accordance to the PA workers Rights Act (PWRA) an company might in basic terms exchange the hire date if there's a important exchange in job description/responsibilities. this might does not comprise the quantity of hours worked. So while you're nonetheless doing the comparable job you'll be allowed to maintain the comparable start up date. whether, in case you switched from something like a clerical job to a administration job they might have a case.

yes, and if you no longer like the job enough to make it worth your time, then yo are entitled to quit as quickly as he can fire you.
