Employers are consistently using work weeks to over work employees and avoid paying overtime. According to the US law apparently they get to designate a day and that day is the one where the week starts and ends for them. This means let's say Sunday is the day you start your work week on
They can give you Sunday Monday Tuesday off. But then work you Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday, Sunday of next week Monday of next week and Tuesday of next week working you 7 days straight but because magically Sunday is supposed to reset it I get no overtime and all the work.
It's absolutely abhorrent and ridiculous I'm basically working on overtime with none of the benefits.
We need to instate a 7 day in any direction work week law which states if I can look back in any direction on my week 7 days from where I'm at and hit more than 40 hours I should be given overtime for that. This could fix the issue of them trying to game the system to get us to do back breaking back to back hours without a cent extra because magically my week starts on Sunday.
