Can someone explain how this works in the US? If my work said this to me I’d feel totally comfortable saying no, and if I did come in I’d charge for transport and get double time.
Well, in this particular instance, they asked on Wednesday to make up for time lost last week when I had to deal with a family emergency. So, I can understand that request. Otherwise, if a full-time employee is under by X hours, then they can usually get away with the request. Asking beyond that is overtime.
