& Emergencies that sometimes are the cause of said Mandatory OT seldom give notice... Although the ones that do, are usually doozies!

The notice is the thing. We work 4 x 10 hour days but if we are behind it is common to ask them to come in on Friday. So we are not really giving them much notice at all.

I'd give extra bonuses to the ones that actually showed up as required. Reiterate that mandatory OT is required per job hiring/employee handbook. Make everyone sign a note/policy moving forward. Also make sure you give them sufficient notice if possible in the future moving forward so they have no excuse...at least 48 - 36 hours.

    Maybe a company-wide e-mail reaffirming that you occasionally have
    OT to meet production demands? Full staff is expected on those days
    to meet deadlines, but that you understand that there may be prior
    obligations that can't be mitigated on a short notice. Accurately
    stating that you can't come in due to prior obligations is highly
    appreciated. Continual inability to meet emergency OT requirements
    may result in disciplinary action. Abuse of the prior obligation
    caveat may result in disciplinary action.

    Not sure.  As tight as the job market is I would be reluctant to let
    them go.  But normally I would let them go.  Service industries have
    mandatory OT at times.  It was made known to them at the time of hire.
    If they were told the day before that the next day is OT, that is
    the time for them to say they have something planned.  But faking
    sick (if indeed they are faking) is not going to work for me.  Just
    not sure what the proper response should be so for now I am just
    grumbling to you guys.

    What if rather then calling in sick they just told you no? Would you
    prefer that?

        Half the crew called in sick.  These young folks want more

        they would rather try to convince me they are on death’s door?____

        Not sure where to draw the line.  If they are truly sick, OK
        fine, sorry, hope you feel better soon. ____
