Default Time and a half for over 40 hours

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.

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?





The best way is to inform yourself as to whether or not there is an actual
legal violation occurring here. You need to be very careful to ascertain
that your niece is actually legally entitled to overtime pay before
confronting her employer and getting her into a possibly embarrassing or
damaging situation.

Using Google, I was able to determine that wages are federally regulated.

How overtime-work hours are determined:

Who does or does not qualify for time-and-a-half, and when:
