  Companies don’t even have to pay people for the time spent going through their own required security checks… …wikipedia.org/…/Integrity_Staffing_Solutions,_In…

    So glad I live in California. A faulty security gate once prevented me from leaving my job on time. Which pushed me past 12 hours on shift, which automatically meant I was earning twice my hourly wage while I waited. Plus it required a mandatory additional meal break, which I couldn’t take. Since I couldn’t take it, I was automatically given an additional full hour’s wage, as required by state law.

      I’m glad I don’t work for a company that forces me to go through a security gate, and I’m glad we don’t track hours. I get paid salary, and I rarely work more than 8 hours in a given day, and my average hours worked per week is usually under 40.

      It’s nice you had some protections, but those protections really shouldn’t be necessary.

        You’re lucky. Many people on salary end up working overtime with no pay increase.

        Once again, there are good managers & (far too frequently) bad (Elon loving cockwomble) managers

        Being salaried doesn’t remove you from those protections, at least in Europe. You get overtime, which is either 1.5x pay or you accumulate PTO.

    Wow. Now I don’t want to go to the US even harder than before.

    If I’m reading that right, the decision was reversed by the 9th circuit.

      The US Supreme Court then reversed the Ninth Circuit ruling. You’re quoting the background that gives context to the case in the lixned article.
