In the US the standard working day is 8 hours, 40 hours a week.
The average business employee works anywhere from 6 - 8+ hours per day.
Weekends count for OSHA lost time if:the employee normally worked weekends, orFriday was a lost day and was a day the employee was scheduled to work, orthe injury was on Friday, the employee was scheduled to work Monday but Monday was a lost day.
7days da
when it requires a long drive
NO!
You are not required to get paid if they do not open that day, no.
When asked on a application why the potential employee is interested in working there, the employer is looking for clues on how long they would remain a employee. If a employee answers they needed a job they are not expected to last long, if they are generally interested in the work they may be a long time employee.
Labor laws are different everywhere. There are laws at the federal, state and even local municipal levels. In CA, for example, it is legal to schedule an employee to work seven days a week so long as that employee is properly compensated. Fun fact, in CA if an employee is scheduled to work seven days a week then the entire seventh day of that work week is required to be payed as overtime.
The answer depends very much on where in the world the employee is.
