Is There an Alotted Time an Employer Must Give a Worker Between Shifts?

I work nights and was told today on Thursdays I now have to work a day (7-5:30) shift. I get off at 12:30am on Wednesdays(sometimes later).
After I drive home, eat, shower and get to bed that's at least an hour, probably more, then get up around 6:15ish, that's about 4 1/2 hrs of sleep max. AND I usually have to drive a company vehicle with others in it during work.
Is this legal? Can they really make you work two full shifts that close in time to each other?

Shift work is trashy.

I hope you're not a pilot.

I think it's 8 hours. Can't remember. Don't work shift work but hear enough people whine about it.

I work for the state, hopefully there is some kind of law on the books for state employees. This fricking sucks if I can't get out of this… gonna be crashing into people at 10am. Hell I haven't gotten up before noon in years. 8 am is like the middle of the night for me.

When we had to stay past 12 hrs the company would provide a meal. If we stayed past 16 they had to provide a place to stay or give us 8 hours off.

Yeah...I'm not sure if there are any directives regarding government employees. I recommend that you talk to Personnel.

In Louisiana, 8 hour break in between shifts, I think. That is what it was for me. I couldn't work more then 16 hours at a time too!

Damn... I once worked 18 hr days for almost a week straight in New Jersey, still had to be in at 8 or 9am regardless. Also worked 22 straight days with no off day once. I should've sued the shite out of my employer.

That's why they call it a turnaround. I'm sure you're one of those trashy people on here that brag about not going to college tho.

Who purposely brags about not going to college? You assume I'm trash because I said the word "shift??"
I'm a college graduate and I am not unionized, I supervise a transportation/shuttle program for a local university, it takes students places that don't have cars and there's an off campus dormitory too that people have to get too.
The drivers have to have a break so I have to drive sometimes. They drive til 12:30am and i have to be there to lock up the keys and check the vans back in.

It's an extremely cush job but the hours suck… I've turned into a vampire, but I have no kids so it's not a huge deal. No way I could do it if I had a family I never saw.
