There is no limit as to the amount of hours/days in a row that an employee can be made to work. That is with the exception of truckers, airline pilots, certain medical personal and other similarly regulated workers. That having been said, non-exempt workers (typically hourly employees) are to be paid for all hours they work. However, salaried employees receive no extra pay for additional hour since their salary covers all of their work time.
