β 12y agoLabor laws vary between one country and another.
If you are a nonexempt employee, yes. If you are an exempt employee, no.
An employer can tell you anything he feels like telling you. Then ... since you are an employee and not a slave ... the decision of how to respond is completely up to you. You always have three choices: 1). Comply. 2). Negotiate. 3). Walk.
If you work 40 hours a week, your done! You dont have to work anymore hours if you dont want to. It is against the law for any employer to force their employees to work if they dont want to. Call the labor board if you feel your rights have been violated. As for hours, you can work all the hours you want as long as its approved with your employer.
40 hours per week, anything over this amount is considered overtime.
no
Only eight hours
Yes.
If you mean can an employer compel an hourly employee to work without pay, then no, never. Hourly employees must be paid for all hours worked.
Yes an employer can deny giving you overtime hours but if you have already worked overtime then it is not okay for an employer to deny paying overtime once the hours have already been earned.

Only with the employer's consent.
No, not in the United States.
You remind the employer that it can fire whoever it wants, but has noi choice about paying for all hours worked.
It would be a rare employer that does not have rules against it. However, as a contractor, you can independently state your hours and how you do your work.

It is more the minimum amount of money that an employer has to pay versus the number of hours. If an employee works less than 3 hours than the employer is required to pay the employee an amount equal to 3 hours of work at the minimum wage in the respective province. So for example, in Alberta the minimum wage is $8.80/ hours X 3 hours is $26.40, so if the employee's hourly rate is in excess of the minimum wage, for example $12.00, than the employer is only required to pay 2.2 hours, which is $26.40 / 12.
