It depends whether you are an exempt or non-exempt employee. If you are non-exempt, your employer will have to pay you for the extra hours that you are working and treat that as overtime in excess of 40 hours per week and pay you time and one-half. On the other hand, if you are exempt, the employer can make you work on Saturdays and not pay you. Whether you are exempt of non-exempt depends upon how much you earn and your job duties. I suggest that you contact an experienced employment attorney to examine your situation.

No. That is illegal.
