Unless she is under 18, this is legal.

The only exception is that, under OSHA, employees must be given "reasonable time" to use the restroom facilities. That's about it. Sorry, that's probably not the answer you wanted to hear.

I'm not sure what being poor has to do with the state not legislating meal periods and rest breaks for adult workers, but I do agree that everyone who is eligible should vote.:)
