Standard Work Week System

The U.S. standard work week is Monday–Friday, 8 hours per day (typically 9:00–17:00). The FLSA requires 1.5x overtime pay for hours over 40/week for non-exempt employees.

Overtime Culture & Compliance

U.S. overtime rules vary by state; some (e.g., California) have stricter daily overtime rules. Exempt employees (managers, professionals) lack overtime protection. Overall moderate overtime culture, though "hustle culture" is common in tech.
