Curious about how many hours you would say you work each week? Or how many total hours per year? A normal 40 hours per week is usually seen as about 2000 hours

Curious about how many hours you would say you work each week? Or how many total hours per year? A normal 40 hours per week is usually seen as about 2000 hours per year.
- CydeWeys 8y agoThe exact definition of a full time salaried position, as defined by the federal government, is 2087 hours per year, FYI. Why such a weird number? Because it takes leap years into account: 365.24 × 5/7 × 8
- bildung 8y agoIs there no legal minimum number of paid vacation days in the US?
- hiram112 8y agoNo
- boomboomsubban 8y agoThere is no required paid leave in the US. No paid vacation, no paid sick leave, no paid parental leave. *edited a typo.
- leesalminen 8y ago> paternal Parental? Maternal leave is also unpaid AFAIK.
- boomboomsubban 8y agoI think I typed parental and went "no, the other one" and changed it to paternal. My mistake.
- leesalminen 8y agoNo worries! Just wanted to note for anyone else that comes across this that mother’s also go unpaid for leave in the US. Sad state of affairs. I just got back from South America and folks were shocked when we talked about US labor laws.
- CydeWeys 8y agoThe US places last in worker protections among all developed nations on a number of axes, including this one :(
- anticensor 8y agoNone for private employers. Government is different.
- patrickg_zill 8y agoTrue, but there are about 10 typical holidays that fall on weekdays each year. So 50 weeks * 40 hours is close enough.
