Is there a maximum number of days in a row that you can be scheduled to work on golf courses?
I have been scheduled to work the last 31 days in a row with no day off. My hours are mostly 12 hours per day and 6 hours on Sat and Sun. I am a salaried employee.

Certain professions (airline pilots, some medical personnel, etc) have a limit on consecutive hours worked but virtually no other employees do. In other words, as a general rule there is no legal limit to how many days in a row a person can be scheduled to work; no matter how many hours a day. However if you are a non-exempt employee (typically hourly) then you are subject to overtime for any hours that you work over 40. Such overtime is to be paid at 1 1/2 your hourly rate (i.e. "time and a half"). It's the law.
