102 hours in 2 weeks?
Its illegal to make you work more than 40-45 hours a week.
Also if you are contracted to one week on, one week off. Then he cant go against this. Obviously if you ask for it/agree to the overtime etc its different but that isn't the case here.

You must average 48hr over a 17 week period which even with 102 hours in two weeks is still possible to do.
If your contract is week days and the weekends are in addition to that then you're under no obligation to accept overtime.
Also depends how important the plans are, you are in the right but you also need to carry on working there.
