No. I do not see it as an issue of salvation. God can, and does, forgive every sin (except one). Breaking the Sabbath isn't unforgiveable.
Now, a hardliner might point out that many down through history have DIED because they honored God's Sabbath (both Jew and Christian). Sometimes our Christianity will cost us. If you sincerely desire to observe the Sabbath (Saturday) but you have to work... seek to maximize the time you do have available on the Sabbath. REST from labors and don't go running around on errands like a mad man until after sunset. Take the time to have a family devotion. Read a children's Bible story to your kids and pray with them. The Sabbath was made for you! Enter into it and find it's blessings. All too often we are so busy we crowd God out of our daily rutines. Eventually worship and focus on the Lord gets pushed to those days wherein we attend church. Today... many Christians will tell you that their religious practice is primarily at the church building. The Sabbath gives you and your family a reason to bring God back into your home. When the entire family chooses to gather together to take at least a little time out from all their worldly persuits to focus on God together, as a unit, there will be a blessing. It can be a very blessed time for the entire family. When I first began to explore the Sabbath it was personally in my own home. My church just happens to have services on Saturday and Sunday. So I go to the Saturday services now.
