1 ANSWER
More importantly is whether you were properly compensated for these hours. Generally, the employer can set the work schedule, even 7 days a week. But, if you are non-exempt under the law, you should be paid a premium for overtime hours. You may want to verify if you were properly paid overtime wages.
