I see what you're saying and yet it's a government job subject to federal labor laws nonetheless. An intervewee would do well to ask questions about that because if it's a 40 hour work week with 12 hours a day, then overtime is mandatory for any hours over 40 for the week.
And yet a standard 12-hour shift work week for exactly 40 hours requires what could be called "compressed week" but since it's a standard, a "compressed week" could possibly mean an exception to the standard.
Questions that demand answers.
@ClaraListensprechen4 Gotta ask for clarifications if I apply to something similar. Thanks for the inputs! I shouldn't assume it was 9-to-5 with a typo'd ad.
@pi
Exactly. Good luck!

I just found some information on wage/hour laws in the State of New York here:

@ClaraListensprechen4 thanks!
@ClaraListensprechen4 Interesting, I thought it was a funny autofill error since I wasn't expecting a shift schedule based on this vacancy's description, which also checks the "Compressed workweek allowed?" off. Maybe that was meant to say no >12hr workdays?
