Can my boss make days of work mandatory?
I am a part time hairstylist that works on commission. My boss closes our salon the first week of January as her choice...She tell us that because she is closed from a Monday-Thursday that Friday and saturday are mandatory work days..I dont normally work these days and the time that I will lose for that week I make up in December for my own benefit. My question is simply can she make these days mandatory??

Before I respond to your inquiry, I must state that we have not spoken, I have not reviewed the relevant documents and facts, and I do not represent you. Therefore, my discussion below is not a legal opinion, but is informational only. Finally, my discussion applies only to issues to which Pennsylvania or Federal law apply, unless otherwise specified.
That being said, an employer can set mandatory days of work; in fact, overtime can be mandatory (as long as it is paid in accordance with the law). The economy's current state adds negotiating power to your employer's side, as few employees are willing to risk the loss of a job.
