It depends upon your state and if they have a law on this. In general there is no limit on the number of hours an employer can work an employee. The exception to this would be if the worker is under the age of 18 and the actual age. However there are laws on whether the employee should receive extra compensation for the hours worked.

Is overtime optional?

That depends on the company. Some companies don't allow overtime, while others require employees to work overtime on a regular basis. Hourly paid employees, especially fast food workers, clerks, and cashiers are usually not allowed to work overtime because the companies don't want to pay the extra money. Salaried employees (those that make a set monthly or yearly amount no matter how many hours they work) are often required to work overtime, with no extra pay for it. As far as the law goes, no, overtime is not optional. Your employer has the right to keep you at work passed 8 hours if they chose to. If you have a union, your collective agreement often contains a clause that makes overtime optional.
