Answer:
ADVANTAGE
The most obvious advantage of mandatory overtime for employees is the extra cash. Because employees are required to be paid time and a half for overtime hours, employees make extra money on paychecks when overtime was required. Mandatory overtime periods tend to extend through a few paychecks at least, such as during busy sales seasons, so employees can count on the cash for more than just an extra few days.
DISADVANTAGE
Because mandatory overtime is just that, mandatory, it can cause burnout among staff. If staff members don't have a choice as to how many hours they work, they can burn out quickly. This means that the extra cash becomes less incentive and more stress-inducing. This can mean more productivity but at a lesser rate of quality, causing a diminished sense of pride in his work for the employee.
