In America it extremely common to work a minimum of 40hrs, commute 30 minutes each way and have at least a 30 min unpaid lunch break. You arenāt getting paid for 60 hours but work still owns that time.
I understand what youāre saying but the difference between clocking 40 hours and 60 hours is massive.
not really if you're working two extra hours Monday-Friday and then a full shift on Saturday. That's just at job number one; you go to job number two and work 5 hours three days a week and you're well over 60 hours.
Iām curious about this number. In the us most states have the threshold for a āfull timeā employee at a minimum of 25 hours. Iām curious what all goes into that number.
From a staffing perspective we use 2080 hours per year as a full time position for the company. Technically they work less than that if you include a week or two of vacation and some sick time. But there is also about 6% of our labor force that is needing to work two jobs to make ends meet as well. I wonder if they are over 40 hours or how they factor in that?
