I work for a company in Utah that caters to tourists. I work full-time, year round. In June, July, August and September, as the bread and butter business picks up, they schedule us for 7AM to 7PM, 5 days a week. We are required to work as the schedule says.

Is that legal?

   Yes it’s legal but they have to pay you overtime. Call your state’s attorney general office and see if they can give you the info you need or else they can at least tell you who can.

   Reality check: Work doesn’t stop because it’s summer time. Unless your a teacher.
   If you are working more than 40 hours a week than you should be getting over-time. If you are not getting over-time pay, than it is illegal. You pretty much have to do what the man tells ya.

   Yes, with a 30 min lunch in you work at least 6 hours, and 15 min break for every 4 hours you work. So you would get 2 lunches and 4 breaks.

   As long as they pay you overtime for it. Those labor law posters are to be hung in a open area, like a break room…read it and if your job doesn’t comply it will give you the agency to notify, usually the Wage & Hour board.
