Yes, your employer can require that you come in to work to help them do a personal job at their house. That is unless doing so violates the terms of an employment contract or union agreement.A business can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit, absent some form of legally actionable discrimination. Further, if you fail to do so, you can be fired. In fact, you a worker can typically be fired for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice. That having been said, if youare paid hourly (i.e. are "non-exempt"), you must be paid for all time doing work even if it is at your boss's house.
