jour de travail
Explanation:
"The above pay rates are based on 40 hours of straight time. Everything beyond that is overtime pay, paid at time and a half, based on seven 12 hour days per week. Most of the hitch rotations are 14 or 21 day hitches, meaning they work 14 or 21 days, then are home 14 or 21 days. The overseas rig workers, however, usually work 28 day hitches. "
