Is it legal (in Maryland) to have a 17 year old work a 12 hour, overnight shift?

Asked by augustlan (47745points) November 15th, 2011

On Thanksgiving night, the big box store where my daughter works is opening at 12 AM for Black Friday. They’ve scheduled her to work from 11 PM Thanksgiving night to 11 AM Friday morning. Which sucks. My question is, is it legal?

I found this statement ”A minor may not be employed to transfer monetary funds in any amount between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m…” on the Employment of Minors Fact Sheet. I’m not sure what they mean by “transfer monetary funds”, though, so I’m not even sure if it applies.

Are there any laws restricting her from working overnight?
