Can my Boss do this??

This difference here is working Saturdays and overtime is not out of the norm, for OP it is.

A "norm" precedent doesn't mean you won't be asked to do things outside of the norm.

I mean, [censored], I used to be an hourly worker, too. Once every month or two, I'd show up at 6 a.m., my boss would tell me, "go home, come back at noon. We need you to fill a 12 hour production shift in the other building." I'd mutter '[censored]' to myself, go home, take a nap, and come back to work. Then I'd work 'til midnight, and be back for my normal 6 a.m. shift the next day. And a lot of people do this. Sure it sucked, but in the long run sucking it up payed off much more than nitpicking and weaseling out of it.

Just suck it up. Be glad you got the 3 or 4 week notice. Even if the boss isn't supposed to do this, you'll be better off in life if you just go to work, get the job done, and quit bitching about it.
