Is there any law in Indiana that prohibits a company from 7 days a week mandatory overtime?

I hate the word mandatory. At any rate-- the previous poster pretty much got everything correct-- If you are suffering from MO (manditory overtime), I am really sorry for you--- go out and splurge on something nice for yourself!

This is not Indiana-specific, but rather federal. The Fair Labor Standards Act does not restrict the total number of work hours for employees over age 16. Mandatory overtime hours is between your employer and you, unless there's an employment contract, collective bargaining agreement or state labor law that says otherwise. A Bill reintroduced in Congress and called the Safe Nursing and Patient Care Act of 2005, bans mandatory overtime hours (as defined by the Act) for nurses working at certain healthcare facilities that receive payments under the Medicare Program. So if you work in that field, it could effect you. But for now, most companies get away with forcing it, and firing employees who refuse to work it. If you're a nonexempt employee (not salaried), as long as the company pays you for it, the company is pretty much in the clear. If you're classified as exempt, overtime without extra pay automatically comes with the territory. However, more exempt employees are filing lawsuits these days, when an unreasonable number of mandatory overtime hours becomes the "norm" every workweek.
