Someone approached to my wife and asked her. Her husband worked CQ the night before, got off CQ at 6am and his unit made him work until 7pm that day.

Based on previous threads/topics, I don't believe the Army has an "across the board" mandatory down-time policy regarding 24 hour duty or the day following it. It would be a matter of local unit policy and commander & supervisor discretion.
That said, working 36+ hours does present a safety concern, and should be addressed through the Chain of Command, especially if someone will be driving or operating heavy equipment on the day following Duty. If there is no written policy, I would suggest approaching the 1SG and bring to attention. He "may" institute an informal policy, as it was likely just an oversight.

No. The Commander may work Soldiers as they see fit to accomplish the mission. Local policy usually governs duty days, recovery, etc. did you know you don’t have weekends off? You are actually observing a two day pass. In Korea, in the not so distant past, Saturday was a work day.
You are better off looking at local policy letters to find an answer. Even then, the mission is first.

No actual regs that I could find. bearing that in mind, it would be more of a unit command policy and/sop.
