Typically, there is no limit on how many hours a week an employee can be made to work. While there are some limitations on certain occupations such a resident/intern in a hospital, an airline pilot, a trunk driver or the like, most workers can be scheduled for however many hours/days in a row their employer requires. The fact is that in "at will" employment arrangements, a company can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit. Therefore, this action is legal unless it violates company policy or the terms of an employment contract or union/collective bargaining agreement. Also, it must not constitute any form of actionable discrimination/retaliation.
