are you obligated to your job on any given day and time if you are being paid on a salary wage?

Depends, did you sign a contract or anything for your job? Many jobs have a "mutual employment" contract in which either you or the employer can end your job at any time for any reason. Check with your HR.

Unless you're salary, anything after 40 hours per week is considered overtime.  There are no set laws about working without a day off.

Sure, if you're exempt.  Generally they have to pay you but even that's not mandatory.  Only if you're non-exempt is that illegal.  Though they may not fire you, it will sure reflect on your performance review.\n\nAnd while, at the beginning, exempt employees applied to managers and business leaders who presumably got bonuses for delivering on time, now exempt employees can be just about anyone.\n\nThe only real check is that if a company insists on working employees without pay or incentives or at least comp time, eventually employees will leave.  I suggest, if they continue with the practice, or even if they don't, you look for a new job.

No, an employer can not force you to do anything.  He can, however, schedule you to work a holiday at the rate of pay you agreed upon when you took the job.  If you choose not to come in or find someone to cover your shift if that is allowable, then he has the right to terminate your employment for failing to come to work.  I am assuming that this is a non union job and that you do not have a contract that outlines what holidays you do and do not work and if there is any bonus for working them.

Normally people get paid on the normal pay date - doing other wise causes all kinds of administrative headaches. So I would wait until the normal payroll run and put them on then.\n\nAlso, you need to issue a P45.

Supposedly they're supposed to pay you for 40hrs/week, however part of the agreement when you take a salaried position is that you will work an expected number of hours per week.  Some employers are more flexible with comp time than others, but if you didn't work your 40 hours you aren't holding up your end of the agreement.

NO, but there are two choices involved with your situation. First, you can choose to wear the clothes or not, however, you can also choose to stay with the job or not. In other words, its a small price to pay if you want to keep the job.

If your employer uses a time clock, what ever is on your time sheet is what you get paid for.

yes; it is up to the individual employer to give the day off; state and federal employees are the exception; they get the day off; everyone else is at the option of the employer; look at nurses and hospital staff ; all of them don't get the day off

Yes, in most cases. In most situations your pay grade depends on performance. However you can NEVER go below the minumum wage, if so contact your local labor board.

I've got the best boss. I can take a day off whenever I need it, I can get a raise whenever I want it. I can start work any time thay I want to. I get paid for what I actually do. Employer? SELF-EMPLOYED.

It is legal. I live in Michigan and was under the exact same circumstance last year. Labor Board told me that your employer does not have to pay you overtime if you aren't at work.

They can't necessarily 'make' you. You can always get out of it by saying that you scheduled events around your work hours, and have obligations to keep, therefore relieving yourself of the added work. They are allowed to work you a certain amount of hours depending on your state's regulations.

If it is in the contract (that was negotiated by company and union) yes they can. Also most "right to work" states allow it. There are hardly any states any more that limits how much an employer can make you work. My husband worked 7 days a week 12 hours a day from 1985 through 2003. He works for a major atuo maufacture.

Everyone is allowed  two days off work. These days do not have to be consecutive. This is the law. If the employee chooses to work 7 days a week, that is up to the boss to allow or not.
