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?

Don't let her work nights in a convenience store. Ever.
Or days, unless they have no stickups in the area.
She has to see how it plays out. Maybe the store policy is simply
"Nobody works over 40 hours because we don't want to pay time and a
half."
That can play out differently too. The boss might demand that certain
things be done before you clock out, but you have to clock out at 8
hours. If you "forget" to clock out and work an extra hour to meet
the demands he set up, it's not counted as overtime, or even straight
time, because he told you that policy is an 8 hour day.
Some people actually put up with this because they need that job.
Others just walk away.
There are also certain "exceptions" to get around the "+40 hour week
equals overtime" with swing shifters. So you might work 48 hours one
week and 32 hours the next week and get no overtime.
So you have to check the laws in detail.
Just tell her not to ask the boss these questions unless she feels
comfortable enough to walk if she doesn't like his answers.
