For adult employees, there is no legal limit to the number of hours that one can work per week, but the Fair Labor Standards Act dictates standards for overtime pay in both the private and public sector.
Weekend or night work does not apply for overtime pay unless it is over the mandated 40 hours. Pay for vacations, sick days, or personal days is not covered. FLSA does not cover double time. Those are agreements between an employer and employee. However, the government offers "Interpretive Guidance" towards such agreements, which changes depending on the geography, nature of the work, and other job factors.
The page also includes E-tools to help employers calculate overtime pay. The same rules do not always apply to minors. For more information on minor specific hours and wage restrictions, visit our Child Labor Laws document.
