California
Illinois
Maryland
New York
North Dakota
Rhode Island
Virginia

According to Maryland, Unless there is an employment contract, agreement or policy providing for such benefits, state law does not guarantee days off for holidays or any special holiday pay for private sector employees, except an unpaid religious day of rest each week for retail employees who give prior written notice to their employers. Moreover, an employer may require an employee to work on a holiday, and is not required to pay extra in doing so.

Ok I notice that you are referring to holidays andd whether or not they would be paid, but the initial info I was referring to was basically on how many days consecutive an employer can force an employee to work. the link may have referred to something that may not exist or was misinformation. I can't find anything remotely based on that link.

The only rule in Maryland regarding an employer's obligation to provide time off is for employers to provide retail employees a day off for religious reasons, as long as the employee requests the time off in advance.
If you want to verify that, I suggest you go through the Maryland statutes, regarding employment. Let me know if you have any other questions.
