Employer forcing unpaid hours

[Joeve]

Is there anywhere in your contract that states hours and then has something like or reasonable hours as required?
It could be worded differently.
At the end of the day depending on what is in your contract dictates what they can and can't request. The word reasonable is your out because it may not be reasonable to expect you to work on weekends at a conference if you have other commitments.
Itms?
I would just respond in writing that due to prior arrangements your are unable to attend. They can not force you however, depending on your contract can request you

I wish I could look this up, but have no idea where my contracts went when we moved. I'll see if I can find the email cause I know they were emailed through to me to sign...and I only delete junk emails so they should be there somewhere....it's just a matter of WHERE........
