Indefinitely. However, unless you are salaried and fully exempt from wage and hour laws, the most they can work you without kicking in overtime (regardless of the number of hours which is a different issue) is 12 days. On day-13 and every day after that without a day off, they would owe you at least time and a half, and eventually double time (though they may owe overtime sooner than that depending on the accumulated hours worked). If you are a fully exempt, salaried employee, however, they can work you every day without a day off until you quit if they want to.
