    Default Are Employers Required to Give Employees Days Off of Work

    An employee in Georgia is required to work consecutive days, with mandatory overtime, on a continual basis. She is frequently scheduled to work every day of the week, multiple weeks in a row, for periods as long as three months. Does she have any right to get an occasional day off, or can her employer schedule her to work every day for weeks and months at a time without any chance for a break?

    Default Re: Are Employers Required to Give Employees Days Off of Work

    Unfortunately for her, there is no general law that prevents an employer from scheduling an employee to work 7 days per week, 365 days per year. While federal regulations apply to a few industries, such as airline pilots and long-haul truckers, and some have protections through civil service laws (government workers) or union contracts, most workers have no protection from being required to work every day for an indefinite period of time.
