Alberta > Employment Law > Hours of Work:

Are there any limits on the number of days and hours that can be worked in a compressed workweek?

Yes. Your employer must schedule the compressed workweek in advance. The schedule must show the whole cycle of the compressed workweek. If the hours are planned over four weeks, the whole four-week cycle must be shown.

The maximum number of hours that can be worked in a compressed workweek is forty-four, unless there is a cycle. If there is a cycle, the average number of hours in each week in the cycle cannot exceed forty-four. The number of hours in a workday cannot exceed twelve.
