FAQ
The state of Florida has no daily work hours limit, so employees can work as much as they want. However, if an employee works more than 40 hours in a workweek, they are entitled to overtime compensation — unless they are exempt.
It is not legal in the US per OSHA regulations for an employer to work an employee 8 hours without a scheduled break. In fact, the OSHA rules are to be posted in every break room.
There is no state or federal law applicable in Florida requiring employees to be given any breaks.
What is the longest shift I can legally work in Florida? There are no federal or state laws outlining a limit on the number of hours an employee can work. As there is no cap, a shift could technically last 24 hours. However, normal shift lengths in Florida tend to be from eight to ten hours.
A normal work shift is generally considered to be a work period of no more than eight consecutive hours during the day, five days a week with at least an eight-hour rest.
