No Employee Should Be Required to Perpetually Work Seven Days a Week

Though one's life to some extent does revolve around their job, every employer should respect the fact that their employees have lives outside of work. No employee should be perpetually required to work seven days a week. Some employers require this, however, juxtapose, in some instances, routinely working overtime. Practices of the sort are among reasons that synonymous companies have significant turnover rates...

...Employees who work every single day (and overtime every single day in some instances) really have no quality of life. They cannot do too much more than sleep and work. A seven day work week requirement is unlawful in some states and should be universally unlawful. It is not far fetched for an employer to routinely require employees to work overtime, where it is not significantly excessive or burdensome, and to periodically require a seven day work week; perpetually requiring a seven day work week is unreasonable, however... 

Employees should be capable of voluntarily working seven days a week where the option is available. Employers could offer or magnify incentives for employees to work additional days. Personal financial goals would be motivation for many employees. 

Every employee should, nonetheless, be privileged to at least one to two days out of the week that they can look forward to, a whole one to two days of relaxation, attending to their household, spending time with family and friends, et cetera. Employers should enable this by hiring sufficient staff and appropriately scheduling off and additional on days, per periodic mandate and employee agreement otherwise...
