No limit on hours, just overtime on hours over 40 in one work week.
If you do not have a contract with your employer limiting the hours, you can be forced to work the hours. This is one of the benefits of belonging to a union, your work hours have been negotiated with your employer, so they can not force you to work extra long hours.

Most state and provincial laws do not provide additional protection for workers 16 years and older. Your employer can ask you to work overtime, even if you are 16, and even if you have school and other commitments. If you have a union where you work, overtime is often limited for workers in school. If you are being forced to work overtime which is unfair, you should join a union.

(In the US) It's immaterial WHAT your employer charges their clients for your services.

Can they make you work more than 40 hours a week if your not available?
It depends. Normally, overtime is brought up in work contracts, if you signed one. If not, then you can challenge mandatory overtime (which your employer may challenge, because overtime is USUALLY at a higher rate than normal worktim). If overtime was not discussed in your contract, you can challenge your employer. Hope this helps, -Ubermensch00
