What is the workweek standard?
A workweek is designated by seven (7) consecutive days of work and is the basis for calculating overtime pay. Hours worked during the workweek cannot be averaged between more than one workweek. Each workweek stands alone. However, specially listed professions, such as medical-care employees, police officers, and fire fighters, are permitted to be paid on special “alternative work periods.” See Police, Firefighters, EMS & Rescue Personnel.
