As a salaried employee does the company have the right to force excessive hours worked for extended periods of time.
Example: 10 hour plus days, 7 days a week, for 10 weeks.
I understand because the position is salaried that no additional compensation has to be provided by the company, although unfair, compensation is not the issue.
I am looking for guidelines for hours worked, are there any limits?
If health related issues arise from the additional stress is the company libel?
