Back on August 30th I discussed FLSA and Overtime. I stated that "there are other areas that may require compensation or overtime." One example was "preparation before shift or clean-up after shift."
Something in the news for you. Hilton Reservations and Customer Care agreed to pay $715,507 in minimum and overtime back wages. This was after an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division. Seemed that Hilton owed the money to over 2,600 current and former customer service employees. The "former employees alleged that they weren't paid for work they did before clocking into their shifts. This included: booting up computers, opening programs, and reading pertinent emails." If the time was not included in their hours, the employees were missing out on overtime.
