Two kinds of time are owed to you under employment law, and most hourly workers hand at least one of them over for free. Thing one: time you're required to be there before you're on the clock. Opening, booting up systems, required gear, the pre-shift meeting. Being required to be there is the test. Thing two, the one almost nobody catches: time you're not free to leave. On call, waiting for a task, covering the desk during a "break." Employers define work as the moments you're visibly producing. The law defines it differently. #employmentlaw #wagetheft #oncall #hourlyworkers
