Question:

How many hours should lapse between work shifts? Is only getting 4 hours between shifts legal?

I work full shift til 12:30am and then have to come back at 5:30am so I have a 5 hour between timeNot counting the hour it takes to get home and then come backPeople have been telling me it's not legal so now I'm curiousThanks! Live in ca if that helps.

Answer:

Unless you are working in a high risk job like pilot, truck driver, crane operator, etc a company is not required to provide any time between shiftsHaven't you ever heard of the phrase pulling a double? It means the person has two shifts back to back with no break.
