FAQ

Presently, no OSHA standard to regulate extended and unusual shifts in the workplace exists. A work period of eight consecutive hours over five days with at least eight hours of rest in between shifts defines a standard shift. Any shift that goes beyond this standard is considered to be extended or unusual.

Generally, no, there are no federal laws that limit how many hours you can work in a single day. (Though some state labor laws have maximum hour laws for minors.) The federal law that applies to all employees is the Fair Labor Standards Act, or FLSA. This law does not regulate how many hours you can work in a day.

The hours of labor for each full time employee shall be a maximum of eight hours in any workday and forty hours in any workweek.

Federal employees are entitled to FLSA overtime unless they fall under a specific exemption, described in more detail below. If an employee falls under an FLSA exemption, the employee may be covered by a different overtime system.

In the United States, government employees includes the U.S. federal civil service, employees of the state governments, and employees of local governments.

Washington law does not require overtime for hours worked over 8 hours in a day, with the exception of certain public works projects. Pay overtime (time and a half the employee's regular rate of pay) for hours worked over 40 per week.Most employees in Washington who work more than 40 hours in a 7day workweek must be paid overtime at a rate of 1.5 times their regular hourly rate. In order to maintain compliance with Washington State Overtime Laws, workers must receive overtime compensation for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. The rate of overtime pay must be no less than time and a half their usual hourly rate of pay (or 1.5 times the regular rate of pay). The FLSA states that all nonexempt employees are entitled to overtime pay for working over 40 hours in a workweek. Overtime wages are 1.5 times an employee's regular pay rate for each hour worked over 40 in a workweek. In the U.S., the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) oversees federal overtime laws. Overtime pay at a rate not less than one and one-half times the regular rate of pay is required after 40 hours of work in a workweek. Most Washington state workers who are paid an hourly wage and work more than 40 hours in a 7-day work week must be paid overtime.
