In The State Of Kentucky How Many Days In A Row Can Your Employer Work You?

The employer does not decide how much you work unless you sign a contract and if you give them the power to tell you what to do in order to keep your job. In other words if you accept a job working 5 days then you work 5 days.if you choose to take a job working 6-7 days then you choose to hire yourself out for those days. Now if you take 24 hours and deduct 8 hours for sleep and 3 hours for meals and 2 hours for traveling back and forth to work you can only do 11-12 hours a day and stay healthy/alert enough to do your job.so basically it is up to you to decide how many days in a row you work no matter what a employer says.besides you need time to take care of your errands,doctors appointments,dentist appointment,getting your eyes checked,so on and so on. So I would not work more than 6 days in a row for no one. No matter what they paid. It's not worth your health or your life.so make sure you read any work contract you sign before hiring on. And ask a lot of questions to the person interviewing you. And read their rule book to make sure they can't give you the old mandatory work hours line. While the management goes home and takes the week end off. And make sure they can't give you the old on call routine making you come in and work for no pay above your regular wages.I suggest you read up on the kentucky hours and wage laws so no employer can play games with your paycheck or hours or your rights.www.labor.ky.gov
