Why isn't a traditional work week 4 days?  5 days on, 2 days off is kinda a ripoff...?

It was actually predicted about 100 years ago by a major industrialist that with all the growth and new inventions, like the assembly line, electricity, cars, tractors, etc, a four day work week was inevitable.  \n\nThe problem is, to sustain economic growth, more work needs to get done, regardless of how much mechanization there is.

Unless you have something in writing stating that your hours won't change, it's perfectly legal.  If it was something drastic (like going from working days to being forced to work nights) you might have a little more pull to state that the job parameters changed considerably and became undoable.  But for goodness sake man - it's an hour.

There are no laws that require employers to provide days off. It is the business owners choice to provide or not to provide holidays and vacations.

Sorry, can't answer for churches specifically, but I can for corporate America as a whole... Much of this depends upon the company, the nature of the work, and what they feel they can get away with.\n\nFor many non-union jobs, it's common for a new employee to get 2 weeks of vacation with more offered after years 2-5. 4 weeks off is probably the most you could expect (unless you're working in Europe) but this would be unlikely for someone new to the organization. In addition to vacation, a typical company may offer you 3-5 sick days. From the company's perspective, they'd like to prevent employees from abusing those days and treating them as additional vacation days. However, if you don't abuse them (and the church has no reason to think that you are) it's not uncommon for people to exceed the allotted sick days under special circumstances. Your employer would probably rather you not infect the entire staff...

Anywhere from 2 to 5 days.

Anymore employers seem to be able to do anything they want and unfortunately whether it is legal or not GET AWAY WITH IT.\n\nMy boss' idea of a pay cut was like last week for example.  Instead of working our normal scheduled 32 hr holiday week schedule +8hrs holiday pay, all I got was 23 hrs of work just because upper mngmnt said we need to save money "again".\nThis is the kind of BS we've been tolerating lately off and on and its getting really old.  Mngmnt doesn't get any proportional weekly cut and I feel they should as well.  Its always the working stiff in America who has to eat the SH** of mngmnt's problems.  I feel a lot of working people would agree with this statement.

Well not this morning or that morning as the case may be but at my last job i got into the habit of doing it every couple of months. The hardest thing is when you do it on a Thursday then sometimes it is hard not to do it on the Friday as well. I eventually quit the job and got a new one and it's only been 5 weeks but i haven't felt like staying home once yet. :)

I depends on where/who you work for, but it's a pretty common practice to not get holiday pay if you take the day before or after a holiday.

Everyone is allowed  two days off work. These days do not have to be consecutive. This is the law. If the employee chooses to work 7 days a week, that is up to the boss to allow or not.

well if you gave him a 1 week notice, its only correct to try to finish what you have on your desk. however when friday comes around......see ya, wouldnt want to be ya.\nit is against the law to give any additional work info besides date of hire, date of termination and position if and when they call him for referance, at least in florida, it could be consideed defamation of character... dont you just love our legal system!!!

At my company, they allow 10 sick days off on a 12 month revolving scale. When you take a day off, you either tell your supervisor ahead of time or call in by 9:00 AM to let them know you won't be in. You don't need to be sick, it can be a personal day, and the supervisor doesn't need to know why. Many people get into trouble with this though. They take too many personal days for fun, and when they really get sick, they don't have enough days to cover the illness, doctors visits, blood tests etc.

I don't think that 'days in a row' is the issue, it is hours per week.\n\nI don't think that there is a limit to how many hours a week your employer can make you work, but I think that if it exceeds 40 hours per week, you are entitled to overtime (usually time and a half as compensation).  If he is "nickel and diming you" (you work seven days a week, but only a few hours a day so it never gets over 40 hours for the week), you may have problems getting any legal help with your situation
