I said "employers" are. Amazon has done this for some employers. I think Ben and Jerry's has as well as some tech firms and universities. Right. Got it. So ... not relevant information.

The FLSA applies to non-contractors as well as contractors. Thus, any employer can establish what it considers a standard work week for its exempt employees.

I once worked for a consulting engineer firm whose standard work week was 45 hours (9 hours per day.). Unfortunately, I wasn’t told that little fact until the first day of work - after we sold our house in one town and moved 112 miles to the new town.
