Re: Consecutive days worked
[ QUOTE ]
A guy I know worked for Reuters in London iin the early 90s, he worked over 100 consecutive (mostly) 15+ hour days, often sleeping in the office building. This guys an idiot. [/ QUOTE ] This is a typical setup for most M&A based 1st years in new york and london. The funny thing is, people who actually work these hours have some wierd culture where they compete to see who can work the longest hours like its some kind of boast. One day they wake up and resign (it usually takes 2 years).

Re: Consecutive days worked

I'm scanning over the web trying to find any info on whether or not there are laws in place saying how many days are you able to work consecutively before given a day off. [/ QUOTE ] There are federal laws that focus on safety and apply mostly to transportation (trucking, railroads, airlines). As far as I know, they deal with hours worked in a row rather than days. Most laws about time worked deal with over-time pay, and are limited to those on hourly wages. If you are salaried, there are usually no restrictions.

I'm pretty sure this doesn't exist, but if it does exist somewhere in the US, it's surely a state thing. [/ QUOTE ]
