I'm trying to find US Labor laws on Salary and time between shifts. The excerpt below is from Oshas website dealing with extended/unusual hours.
“no OSHA standard to regulate extended and unusual shifts in the workplace exists”
I work 6 days a week, 10 hour days with some shifts ending at 11PM and the next 10 hour shift starting at 7AM the next morning.
With my hours I just think allowing a proper 8 hours sleep is reasonable. I say the average person needs to get up 1 hr before shift starts and 1 hr after work to rush to bed. This gives me at the very best 6 hours sleep.
