My buddy works at a manufacturer and they've decided it's mandatory 55 hour work weeks. Even if you work 40 hours, then you have to use 15 hours of PTO to make up the gap. This is in Iowa. I just want to know if this is legal. He's already started to look for a new job once he's back from vacation, but it just doesn't seem right. This place also forced people to come in who had tested positive for Covid. It's that kind of place.
