Can they force me??

Question

Today I am scheduled to work from 8:45 a.m - 1:00 p.m. So far the girl that is supposed to come to work and work the last half of the day hasn't shown up. She is 15 minutes late. Can my work force me to stay and work the last half of the day even though they didn't schedual me for it? Am I allowed to say no and leave? I have things to do and can't stay.
I am a cashier.

Answer

That depends on your job.   I as a nurse if I packs up and went home could be charged with abandonment and lose my license.   We get mandated allll the time.

Answer

you can definitely tell them no although they might not be happy with it but tell them you have things that need to get done. if you explain I'm sure they'll be fine

Answer

I don't believe they can force you to stay as you weren't scheduled. It's up to the management to either find a replacement or work it themselves.

Answer

No. They cannot force you to stay. You can tell them that you are not available to stay any longer today and one of the managers will have to fill-in for the girl.

Answer

I think it depends on your job and if you're understaffed

Answer

No they can't force overtime. Tell them you need to leave.

Answer

I would think this depends entirely on what type of job you have. If you're in an essential position that is highly specialized like the only person capable of doing your job you may have to stay until they can find someone to relieve you.
