Answer by  kgrim (510)

An employer can only request that you work the hours you were hired to work. If you are a full time employee at 40 hours per week, they can only expect you to maintain that agreement. If they hired you as part time then the part-time hours should be honored.

You can work up to 16hrs per day if you have 11 hours resting between. They cannot make you work 16 hours for 3 straight days.

An employer can only make you work as many hours as you think you can handle. If you feel you are being grossly overworked and are not getting paid for it enough, you should rethink your job and see if you can find something that is better suited to your needs.
