Can an employer force you to work more than 40 hours a week?
Answers:
In CA, there are labor laws for hourly employees - they have to take a lunch, and they have to be paid for overtime for all worked hours over an 8 hour period in 1 day in addition to all worked hours over 40 hours in a week unless on compressed work week schedule. However, salaried exempt employees do not fall under this mandated overtime pay. Salary non-exempt do, meaning, salaried employees not exempt from overtime pay. The best thing for you to do is visit your state's labor law page becasue each state is different. If you are salaried, and there are no overtime laws, then you should negotiate a higher salary.
You need to review the wage and hour laws for your state.
All the states are different about what is overtime and other issues.

Sounds like you guys need a union! Unless you have a contract stating hours of service, It's their way or the highway!
They can if you're on salary.
the key word is "salaried" yes they can do that

I have been in the workforce for over 35-years and have been salaried most of the time and working a 50-hour week is no big deal. You work as many hours as it takes to get the job done.
yes if they are your slave master.
If you let me know the name of your company I will send at least 100 mexicans willing to work 80 hours a week for $4.15 USD per hour.
