- Is there a limit on the number of hours that an employee can work?
- 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?
- I was hired for a full-time job, but I work less than 40 hours per week, and sometimes, when there is not much work, by boss cuts back my hours to only about 32 hours a week. Is there a minimum number of hours that I must work in order to be “full-time”?
- I work shifts. Last week my boss told me I had to stay and work a double shift. Can he do this?
- I work as a cook at a family restaurant. On Saturdays when we are really busy I start work at 10 a.m. and often do not get to rest until the lunch rush is over at 3 p.m. Is this legal?
- My boss likes me to work for ten hours a day, but only for four days a week. Is this legal?
- Are there any limits on the number of days and hours that can be worked in a compressed workweek?
- When I interviewed for a job, the employer said I might have to work weekends. Can this be a job requirement?
- What are the rest periods required by law?
- Which employees are exempt from the Employment Standards Code provisions relating to hours of work, rest, and overtime?
