Ehh, maybe it started of as a religious thing, perhaps why Sunday was chosen specifically; but the idea of forcing everyone to have a day off is wonderful.

In the us, there’s no federal law limiting the number of days people have to work. Some states have a 1 every 7 days rule. But that’s not specific enough, for shift schedule work, they can set you off day to be Sunday this week, and Friday next week so you still get to work almost 2 weeks in a row.

IMO, it should be (regardless of number of hours worked) on day 6 your pay is 1.5x, and day 7 is required off. After 8 days its 2x pay, +2 days of paid vacation time - 8 hours or your typical shift length (which ever is larger). (then doubling everyday after)

• With a signed agreement between you, HR, your boss, whomever is “in charge”/owns the company and the labor board with exact documentation explaining why you have to work so many days in a row and why the job can’t wait a day or someone else can’t fill in. Failure to do this step results in x5 back pay for everyday worked after 6. Doubling everyday after 8.
