it is against federal labor regulations to require employees to work seven consecutive days unless an employee volunteers.

If you work over 40 hours in a week, then overtime pay is required by federal law. Those hours could be spread across 7 days for the week without paying overtime.
The employer can define the start and end of the week as long as it's a consistent, consecutive 168 hours. It doesn't have to be Sunday through Saturday - could be noon on Tuesday until noon the following Tuesday.

depends on you hiring agreement -- for example off shore workers work 30 on and 30 off -- sorry about that number one answerer -- go take some more legal questions.
