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.
Is there a limit to how much I can work each day? Yes. You should get 11 hours consecutive rest each day. This means your working day should not be more than 13 hours long in each 24-hour period that you are working for your employer.

An important employee concern is how many days an employer can schedule an employee to work in a row. ing to California Law, employees generally get one day of rest for every seven that they work. This means that, in most cases, an employer cannot schedule an employee to work more than six days without a day off.
There's no set time between shifts in California. Every five hours, many team members are eligible for a 30-minute break.
The law becomes effective January 1, 2025 and applies to employers with 30 or more employees within the state. Beginning January 1, 2025, Minnesota employers are required to include the starting salary range and a general description of benefits and other compensation in postings for open positions.

Minnesota law mandates overtime pay at 1.5 times the regular hourly wage for any work exceeding 48 hours in a single workweek.

Severance and termination pay compensate the employee for the separation from employment.
