I'm assuming you're a non-exempt employee.

Yes, they have the right to make you work mandatory OT.

You get paid for OT when you *actually* work over 40 hrs. a week - however, your employer is doing nothing illegal.

Mandatory overtime is legal in every state in the Union. Only two states have general limits on how much overtime may be required. Move a few miles to Maine and you can only be forced to work 80 hours of overtime in any two consecutive work weeks.

You are not entitled to overtime pay if you have not actually worked more than 40 hours. If you are non-exempt and you work more than 40 hours a week, mandatory or voluntary, you get paid overtime for those hours.
