Texas Labor Laws for Salaried Employee?


Can a salaried employee be forced to work over 85 hours a week? Is there a law that prevents this?

federal law prevents you from being scheduled more then 16 hours a day and no more then 6 days a week which could be 96 hours. i have not found the Texas law that relates to this but you can look at this website to see if Texas has a law or regulation (Texas has very few labor laws):

unless you are considered an executive under federal labor laws being salary does not exempt you from overtime pay.
your salary must be more then minimum wage would pay if you do not qualify as an executive. that currently would be a minimum of $628.88 for 85 hours.

You should direct your question to the labor dept, or an attorney.
