I currently work 40 hours per week (5x8 hours per day) at one
job. I also work at an additional part time job elsewhere (approximately
25 hours per week.) I prefer my full-time job, and there is plenty
of work. Can I work 6x10 hour days with that employer, for a total
of a 60 hour work week?
Yes.
However, you are not permitted to work more 12 hours per day. In
addition, unless your job is exempt from the overtime provisions,
the law says that any work time over 8 hours per day, or 44 hours
per week (whichever is greater) is overtime and must be paid as
such.
