Pay for “Log on” Time and Other Preparatory Activities:

Employers must pay for all work performed by their employees covered by applicable wage and hour laws, whether performed before, during or after assigned shifts.

Employers must pay for all preparatory activities prior to assigned shifts such as logging on to computer systems, reading company information, and dressing in required clothing or protective gear.

Employers must pay for all work including activities during assigned shifts such as waiting for work and walking between different locations in the workplace.

Employers must pay for all activities performed after assigned shifts such as completing paperwork, tasks extending beyond the end of a shift, logging off from computer programs and systems, and removing required clothing or protective gear.

If you believe you or your co-workers have not been paid for some of all of these activities, please call Mark Potashnick of Weinhaus & Potashnick at (314) 997-9150 for a free telephone consultation.
