i think she would be entitled to go into work later the next day. iirc, california law states that one must have atleast 8 hours in between shifts if they are 8+hours.
so, say she was stuck until 12pm-1am (in my opinion that's still work since she has not left under special circumstances), and she has to come in the next day at 7am.
i don't know, that's just my opinion.

shiz, I need to work wher blktoptrvbl works. Salaried or not, we're still expected to be in the office at 8:30.
"california law states that one must have atleast 8 hours in between shifts if they are 8+hours."
I don't think that applies to salaried idiots like us.

This is a woman who was working an average of 60 hours a week at minimum and her boss was just a 'dick.'
In my career, I have always left when I wanted and returned when I wanted. If I felt like going to a movie in the middle of the afternoon, I would. The only requirements have been that I let the boss know what is going on, I get my work done, I make up my time, and I don't miss deadlines or meetings.
I'm sorry you have to be chained to your desk, but not all people/offices work that way. Are the people in your job class exempt or non-exempt? Salaried or hourly?

When I've been a manager or a team lead, when you do your work has never mattered to me. I don't care if you are working from your back porch hammock, while drinking a ballentine as long as you are getting the job done.

See, that doesn't really work depending on what you do. me = consultant = work my life away = get no slack. It's what we're expected to do for our "high" salaries.
humm say she did work 9 to 5. thats 8 hours plus the 6 in the elevator thats 14 hours. that's still about an hour less than i spend at work everynight if it's slow. no one should be crying about having to come to work the next day after that. i don't ..... 
so be happy
