    Wait. If I choose to work multiple jobs and I choose to work 65 hrs a week because (reasons) that's against the law and it's somehow the employer's burden to stop that?

    Edit: I say this as a person who values his time and work life balance. Maybe when I was in my 20s and had more energy then sense of have done that.

      Exactly, yes. The same goes for working more than 10hrs in a single day.

      Edit: that does not apply to self-employed people. So if you work 90 hrs in your own company, that's fine.
