My niece just started working for a company yesterday. She is working
in a convenient store that also sells gas. She has almost no job
experience. She says her boss does not pay time and a half for over
40 hours.


Sounds like it's required for the job. I've had jobs were
time-and-a-half wasn't paid (only straight time) but mostly overtime
was paid at zero times. ;-)

I am assuming that if she says anything, the boss will just quit
telling her to come in. What is the best way to address this problem?


Take immaculate records. Keep all pay stubs. Contact the state labor
relations board after she leaves the job? Sue for back pay? This is
highly jurisdiction dependant.
