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.

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.

Oi Vei, read the thread. I already said if it's the 3rd I have no prob with it.

your OP states "I have plans that weekend", then you go on to say later that you don't even know which weekend it is.




just pack up your cube.

Wow that sux. As i've stated i'm not going to cause a huge fuss about it, I like my job. Still doesn't mean it's b.s. People have lives and sometimes other jobs outside of work.

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.

[kidcolin]

Like someone else suggested, if you had major plans that weekend, TALK to your boss and try to work something out, rather than ask OOT if you have some legal right to get out of it.

What I described above sucked.. sure, but it also afforded me some flexibility with my bosses when stuff like needing an extra day off came up. It's a give and take.

ASU, has posted a simple question that he is peeved about. most everyone is blowing it out of proportion like he is making a huge issue and mainly on top of that theyre talking like theyre legal experts in answering him when theyre just talking out their ass.

i think ASU came to the wrong place to pose this question. he'll get no serious replies and just ridiculed. im sure though if those people ridiculing him were in ASU's shoes they'd be bitching about their ruined weekend too.

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.
