Is there such thing as Mandatory Overtime. I always though OT is optional.

Anybody with any insights?

Thanks
I would liken any "industry rules" to the line of work you do but on-call shifts which are scheduled in advance on your days off should have stipulations i.e. OT pay, minimum 4 hours pay or something along those lines.

Mandatory overtime - perhaps more of an "all hands on deck" requirement but I don't believe you are required by law to work. I could be wrong. Best to speak to your employer to clear out any rules.
