I am not aware of such a requirement, but be mindful of the overtime requirements for non-exempt employees. The California Industrial Welfare Commission has a Wage Order for each industry that addresses overtime on the 7th consecutive day.

I also found this language in the IWC Order for our industry, manufacturing. (F) The provisions of Labor Code Sections 551 and 552 regarding one (1) dayâs rest in seven (7) shall not be construed to
prevent an accumulation of days of rest when the nature of the employment reasonably requires the employee to work seven (7)
or more consecutive days; provided, however, that in each calendar month, the employee shall receive the equivalent of one (1)
dayâs rest in seven (7).

You should be able to find the Wage Order for your industry on the internet. I hope this helps.

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
