Just wanted to know if it's legal that's all. I mean if it is illegal someone SHOULD say something correct?

Making a 40 hour a week employee work a 40 hour week isn't illegal.

This is too simplistic a view.

Obviously. So is, "OMG, I my boss wants me to work 1 Saturday in 4 years. This has to be illegal!".

Seriously, the OP can refuse and really doesn't have to work it if he "has previous plans". He's really getting bent out of shape over something just about every other person who has a 9-5 has experienced before.

I just asked if it was. Also please point me to where I said this was the first saturday in 4 years. I've been asked to work many saturdays and got paid OT for them. This situation is different.

Sorry, someone else must ahve said the first Saturday. And the Saturday in question is different in only 3 ways:
1) It's replacing a day of work
2) No OT pay has been promised
3) You are too chickenshit to tell your boss you have previous plans and can't make it

1 & 2 are huge. 3..mmmm..not chickenshit, but avoiding confrontation.
