Can a employer make Saturday mandatory after a 40 hour work week ?
Does this mandatory also affect people working through a temp service?

I agree with Mr. Schofield's answer, with one caveat - if you have a genuinely held religious belief that prevents you from working on Saturdays - for example, you are a Seventh Day Adventist or an Orthodox Jew - then, depending on the circumstances, you may be entitled to a reasonable accommodation on religious grounds for some or even all Saturdays. This accommodation, however, is not automatic, and you should consult an employment law attorney before addressing it with your employer.

Yes, they can require you to work as many hours as needed, but must pay you time and one-half for all hours over 40. Hope this helps.
