- mschuster91 10y agoWhat does 9/80 mean? 9h/day minimum, and 80h/week? That 'd be straight out illegal in Germany, for example (8h/d maximum on long-term average, 48h/week max on long-term average). If any accidents happen with this excessive overtimes, the employer is fully liable for any damages claims. What the US desperately lacks is a federal workers' protection laws.

- thrden 10y agoI'm fairly sure it means that you work 80 hours over 9 days (instead of 10), which can actually be pretty nice, because its fairly rare for professionals to actually work 9-5. To me it seems to codify an existing trend, and provide a benefit that acknowledges the reality of work. personally I don't think this represents a lack of workers rights, but an improvement by offering a more flexible schedule.
- andrewwhartion 10y ago“The 9/80 work week… occurs over a 2-week period as follows: employees work seven 9-hour days in a 2-week period, one 8-hour day and then receive one “free” day off every other week.” https://workfamily.sas.upenn.edu/glossary/n/nineeighty-work-week-definitions https://workfamily.sas.upenn.edu/glossary/n/nineeighty-work-...

- labster 10y agoWorking 80 hour days, 9 days a week. Gotta make all of our goals in crunch.
- xur17 10y ago9/80 means you work 9 days over a two week period, 9 hours per day, with 8 hours 1 day.
