Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Forcing New Years Eve Work
Because of unsubstantiated fear of Y2K chaos, can an employer force an exempt, regular employee to work on New Years Eve (12/31/99) through New Years Day (1/1/2000) when those days are normally scheduled holidays and no agreement or understanding exists between the two for that schedule? Further, can an employer require an employee to remain on the premises for that period of time with no opportunity to go home? Can disagreement result in discipline?

An employer may require an employee to work on New Years Eve and may discipline an employee for failing to work when asked to do so.
