Required Charity Events

My daughter works as a teller for a local bank, she's been there about 6 months or so and for the most part enjoys it. Makes $15 an hour, which isn't too bad for a college kid that still lives at home. I just got wind that she is required to attend three charity events in a year so the bank has “representation” during these events. All fine and dandy, but she is not getting paid to attend these events. Typically they are on Friday/Saturday evenings for several hours. Is it legal that they are required to attend these events and not be paid for the time they spend there? I can make a call to the labor board next week, but figured I'd ask here first.
