Regulations seem to me a lot less magical than the free market. I live in a country with a lot of regulations when it comes to working time and it does not seem to harm. It is one of the strongest economies in the world. I guess the market can live with it.
There are strict limits for extra hours. As an employee working more than 48 hours per week is allowed only as an exception and working more than 60 hours per week is simply put illegal. Extra time has to be balanced with free time. We also have a minimum of 24 payed vacation days. Most people have more.
