Can my employer make me work another day to make up pst
I work 40 hours a week but only 4 days
a week. I took a day off for being
sick. Employer is making me work
another day to make the time up. I
thought in AZ they had to gove you
time? Or would working that extra day
give me over time?

Do you have an employment contract or union agreement that addresses this type of situation? If not, then as an "at will" worker, your employer can set the conditions of the workplace much as it sees fit (absent some form of legally actionable discrimination). Accordingly, your company can schedule you to work whatever hours/days it deems appropriate. That having been said, to the extent that you are a non-exempt employee, then you are entitled to overtime pay for any hours you work over 40 in the work week.

1) Your employer sets your schedule, not you: they can tell you to work any days or at any times they want, so they can ask you to come in another day in this case.
2) You get overtime only if you work more than 40 hours in a week; if you do, then all time past or after 40 hours is overtime (time-and-a-half).
