Generally, no. Neither federal nor California law requires a minimum amount of time between shifts, except in certain industries or situations.

A few local jurisdictions have passed ordinances that may require a certain amount of time between shifts, including the Los Angeles City Fair Work Week Ordinance and the Emeryville Fair Workweek Ordinance.
Use the Local Ordinance Wizard to help determine if any apply.
