There are no laws requiring days of at all. There are only laws regarding how much an employer must pay someone for working more than a set standard (usually 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week.)

There is no law governing the amount of days worked without a day off. Many States have laws pertaining to the number of hours worked without time off. This is usually like 16 hours max and then 8 hours off.

1. In private industry, salaried employees have limited protection but do fall under NLRB rules sometimes. But it is often the worst place to be in.
2. In private industry, hourly employees fall under NLRB rules that govern overtime pay requirements. Here is where it sometimes occurs to an employer to allow for days off. See, the employer starts to LOSE MONEY (due to overtime pay) when they work you too much during a pay period. For small business, doesn't help due to exemptions for small business. For larger companies, NLRB rules for hourly employees are significant in relation to your question.
3. In government, the feds and the states usually have rules about how much you can work on a project and what holidays you must offer. Again, overtime rules make it important to limit your hours on the job. In this case, because your job is budgeted according to some formula, usually 2080 hours less about 20 days (holidays, vacations, and sick time.) If you burn those budgeted hours in government jobs, you go home when you are out of hours for the year unless they have some slush funds to employ you over that number of hours.

they can only make you work 40 hours a week unless you agree to working more. after 40 hours they MUST pay overtime. restaurant and farm labor fall under different laws. basic federal laws must be posted at work and should have dept. of labor phone number on it.

Yes, they can. There are no laws regarding continuous work days.
