<prompt> Human: So, my dads a guy working IT. Im not sure about the specifics, but I do know he does backuprepair. Hes paid a pretty good salary of around 62,000 a year he also works at home.Yesterday, he told me hed put in around 100 hours last week doing some thing for a big paying client.Hes STILL working on it. Theyll wake him up around 6 am and keep him in a meeting throughout the entire day.The big problem - from what hes told me - is that hes paid a salary, and therefore doesnt get any sort of overtime or raise for working more than 40 hours a week. Hes literally working two and a half times the average work hours, and doesnt get any additional bonus. Its ridiculous. I know the simple answer would be QUIT, and hes certainly about to search for a new job, but he just cant quit until he knows hes guaranteed a spot somewhere.My question for you guys is: Can he do anything about it? Is there some law that prevents this kind of stuff?Thanks for any answers. He currently has no time for family stuff, hardly has time to drop the kids off for school, and is stressed beyond belief.Assistant: Your dad works 60 of the week, does he sleep? Does he work 7 days a week? Any days off or vacation? Can he do anything about it? Get a new job. How is his health? Human: Hes extremely stressed out. Hes constantly on the verge of crying. Im sure its not helping his already high blood pressure.He gets vacation every once in a while. Even then, a lot of the time theyll still call in, so he has to bring his laptop a lot.Honestly, he SOMETIMES get Saturdays off. Its pretty depressing.Assistant: Let me put it another way, even though your dad works 100 hours per week meaning he could work 105 hours one week. For 50 weeks say he gets 2 full weeks vacation, he works 5000 hours per year. For a 62,000 salary that comes out to 12.40hour. He should consider getting a new job. Your health is the most important thing.Human: Just talked to him about it, he said that if by next week they dont reduce his hours to 40-50 a week, hell have already applied for a position hes been looking at.Thanks for the insight. His health is already on the fringe; he cant be doing this anymore.  <response>: He should skip ahead and apply now. Recruiting people can take time and there is 0 reason to wait.
