There aren't standard hours for a veterinary assistant. The work schedule will depend on the hours of operation of the veterinary facility, the number of employees, etc. Veterinary assistants may work days, nights, weekends, holidays, etc.
Most vets are open some evenings and weekend days.
A weekend news producer will work many hours outside of the weekend. They probably work throughout the week preparing stories and doing other duties for the station.
Most veterinarians do work more than 40 hours in a week - they have to be available for all appointments throughout the day, as well as emergency calls and weekend work. However, depending on the contract the veterinarian signed, the vet may be paid more for the overtime work.
84 hours a week and 6 days
It is traditional not to work on weekends.
A vet works about 9 hours a day and should be able to be called on 24/7. But you can have shifts within the day.
At a specialty clinic, a vet may work 6-8 hours a day during the week. In contrast, an ambulatory large animal vet may work 20 hours a day during the week if he is on call for emergency after working a 10 hour day shift.
This will depend on the type of practice and the clinic's hours. A rural large animal ambulatory veterinarian can work most of the hours, day and night, all weekend long. An urban small animal clinic veterinarian that has a local emergency clinic available and no regularly scheduled weekend appointments may work no weekend hours.
For private practice, veterinarians in the US work between 50 and 60 hours per week on average.
A veterinarian's working hours are typical for a medical professional's: longer than 8 hours most days, with weekend, evening and emergency hours possible as well. Most veterinarians will work some major holidays throughout the year, so there can be significant impacts on major family events if the vet doesn't have someone to cover for him.
