How does it work with resting hours in the US? You also have a minimum for off-work time, no matter what work, right? For example in Austria it's 8 hours every day + 48 hours per week for most jobs.
Lmao nope. In my state you cannot be scheduled more than 6 days in a row(for most jobs. Some jobs can go a full 7 out of 7) and employers are required to give one 24 hour rest period... but that's per job, not cumulative. If you have two jobs, the only thing stopping you from being scheduled 6 days a week at both and working at least one job every single day is if your schedules overlap, in which case you have to choose which job you like more because you'll probably be fired soon from the one you don't go to.
