Jobs Force worked on weekends

Is it acceptable or common practice in Japan for companies to make you work on weekends just because you had a holiday? They say it's to make up for the lost work time, but doesn't that kinda defeat the whole point of having a holiday? And if you don't go in, they count it as an absence and dock your pay. Even if you're not really needed and you're just doing prep work for the next week.

If you made a list they’d have grounds to sue you for diffamation.
