Is it illegal in the US to work 7 days a week?


I will be starting a job working 630a-3p everyday, but it is temporary ongoing. Does anyone know what that means?

Hmm, well I don't know but seeing as no one has answered you where I live its illegal to be fired for refusing to work more than 48 hours a week. However it is perfectly legal to work more than that if you "choose".

But I don't live in the US.

All I can find is this, and it just says you have to be paid overtime after 40hours
