Is this normal when you go for job interview
My younger brother went for interview in a local fast food place.
He thought it's interview but the manager then tells him to come in kitchen and already started making him work.
He also makes him do janitorial work and sweep parking lot and wash dishes. And then ask him to mop floor.
9 hours go by. After that the manager says "you're hired. Your first day of work is on Monday. You will do paperwork at start of job and then you begin job"
So this means he will be unpaid for the 9 hours he stayed?

If not paid, then: not normal, AND not legal in the U.S. However: IF he wants the job badly, he should say nothing. *** Yes: it's commonplace to test the employee's abilities before hiring. No: it's not commonplace to do so ***FOR SEVERAL HOURS*** unless those hours are PAID.

Does he have other options? I would not recommend working for this manager. I would not trust him. In other words, your brother was "interviewing the manager" as well. The manager didn't come out very well at that interview. Your brother should get as many interviews as possible before committing to an employer,

The manager cannot do that and he knows it - unless he compensates your brother for that day. It would be too easy to expose what he did if pressed, and he would be fired and sitting in court. It doesn't sound like your brother is being truthful with you for some reason. What he describes is too far-fetched.

Totally not okay and not legal. It is okay to have a test task, many companies and places do that. But without compensation I would not continue working for that manager. You can be sure the overshifts will not be compensated in future.

That's not legal and he is entitled to be paid.
