More details to this question:
At my company my department was told it was mandatory for us to work 14 days in a row. The only reason we had a day off was the federal holiday, now after that one day off we have been told we are working mandatory Saturdays until further notice.

An employer can required its employees to work 7 days a week all of the time or for a short period of time when necessary. However, after 40 hours in a single week, the employer must pay overtime (time and a half) to non-exempt employees (usually hourly employees).
