My first post here:

Simple question: I could not find anything on KDOL FAQs... is there a state or federal mandate giving a mininum amount of hours between shifts?

For example: a person gets sheduled 2 pm to 11 pm, then has to come in at 7 am the next morning. This is an 8 hour gap. Or 1 pm to 10 pm, with the next shift 5 am to 2 pm, a 7 hour gap.

My manager has told me there is not company policy stating how far apart shifts should be.

Is this just a case of crappy treatment, yet totally legal? or otherwise? :confused:

No, there is no state or Federal law requiring any particular minimum time between shifts. In any state.

There are a very few industry specific exceptions where there is a public safety factor (airline pilot, truck driver, in some states nursing) but for the most part, an employer can schedule you for back to back shifts if they choose to.

that's what I figured. thanks for the confirmation
