Jewel-Osco

I have a child (16) who works at Jewel in Des Plaines, IL. She has had a couple shifts that are 8 hours and is not getting a 30-minute unpaid break. She is being told that she gets two 15 minutes breaks during her shift. By Illinois state law, she is required to receive an unpaid 30-minute break or a 20-minute rest period that is paid.

This is my child's first job and after questioning them on her break is scared to talk to them due to retaliation. My child also does not want me to contact the manager.
