ARE YOU GETTING PAID FOR THE TIME YOU SPEND PREPARING FOR YOUR JOB?

In California, your employer must pay you for the hours you work. This might also include the hours you spend preparing for your job. Talk to an experienced employment attorney to see if your wages should include the time you spend waiting in line to go through your building’s security or putting on necessary protective clothing. Make sure you are getting paid for the work you do!

When production line workers at a local meat-processing plant felt like they were not receiving appropriate pay for the hours they worked, they stood up for their rights and took legal action. The employees alleged that they weren’t paid for the time they spent donning and doffing safety and sanitary gear and performing other related work activities. They took their employer to court and won $250,000 in damages for not receiving the proper pay.
