does she work for a company or for the individual(casual labor)?
labor laws apply to gainful employment not casual labor.

edit the question to include more details such as if she is an RN, RNs are exempt from overtime if they are paid more then $455.00 per week on a salary basis.

The workers in any state who get overtime are determined either by their state legislatures or the US Congress.

I would suggest you start looking in the same place the covers the mininum wages in your state and handles the different professions and unions. All states have different laws and contracts in effect in these matters.
