I know that in California, non exempt employees cannot work 7 days in a row, they need a day off. Is this a Federal law as well?

- There is no such Federal law, and only a very few states have it. California does, but even in California there are exceptions to it.

  CA Labor Code 554(a):
  ... Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prevent an accumulation of days of rest when the nature of the employment reasonably requires that the employee work seven or more consecutive days, if in each calendar month the employee receives days of rest equivalent to one day's rest in seven.

- The labor code does not exclude any class of employee (i.e. exempt, non-exempt), and as such, all employees, exempt or otherwise, are "entitled to one days rest therefrom in seven."

- Yes, they are "entitled" in California. Doesn't mean the employee couldn't agree to work 7 days in a row.
