In most cases, employers can require employees to work longer hours as needed, provided that the employee is classified as an “exempt” employee rather than a “non-exempt” employee. Exempt employees are generally not entitled to overtime pay, so employers have more flexibility with their work schedules. As long as the employee is classified properly and is paid their regular salary, there are generally no requirements to pay additional compensation for working extra hours.

You could ask your employees to work more hours by offering flexibility in their schedules, such as taking shifts or working on alternate days. You could also look into changing your labor policies, such as reducing break times and allowing for longer periods of continuous work. Another option would be to prioritize tasks so that overtime is only spent on essential tasks.
