ah you're just saying that 'usual work hours' isn't defined in the statute and doesn't seem to be capped at 40 for salaried workers? fair

their jury duty hour cap statute uses similar language:

> hours normally and customarily worked by the person during a day

https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objectName=mcl-600-1...

Maybe it's established in case law that this is 40 for a salaried worker? (I'm not a michigan employment lawyer). I wonder if a draft of this proposed hardcoding it at 40 and they had a reason not to?

> I assume the regulator (or someone, at any rate) can already fine people who don't stick to contracts

....what contract? There's no contract in most cases and contracts that exist very rarely define hours. I've never encountered one that did.

> seem to require any particular working hours

This isn't about enforcing hours, it's about communication during hours you're not being paid for.
