Employment Law After Hours VIDEO - Working Off the Clock: Laws Requiring Payment for Work Performed After Shift Ends

Multimedia
April 7, 2022

Do employees get paid when they work off the clock after the end of their scheduled shift?

  • What if an employee answers emails or text messages after work?
  • Do companies or employers have to pay employees for answering emails or text messages at home?
  • Do employers or companies have to pay for de minimis work time?
  • Do you have to pay exempt (salary) employees for working from home?
  • Do you have to pay non-exempt employees for working from home?
  • Do companies have to pay overtime for working from home?

These questions are answered by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, which requires that non-exempt employees be paid at least minimum wage (and possibly overtime) for all hours worked, regardless of where and when those hours are worked. Answers to these questions and many others at the federal level are contained in this episode of Employment Law After Hours. Always remember to check specific state laws regarding employee payments in your state. For more information, please contact Bryan Meek at bmeek@bmdllc.com.

Employment Law After Hours VIDEO - Talking Pay with Your Co-Workers: Rules Prohibiting Employees from Comparing Wages and Salary

April 7, 2022Do you have policies or other rules that employees cannot talk about their pay, wages, or other benefits at work? Such policies may be illegal under the National Labor Relations Act, as regulated by the National Labor Relations Board. In this episode, we discuss concerted activity, which is protected for employees under law, and what employers can do legally to encourage a culture where employees are more comfortable discussing their pay with human resources, rather than each other. The NLRB can be very strict when analyzing handbooks and other policies that even implicitly prohibit such employee discussions on pay, wages, and salaries. It is important that you conduct routine handbook audits to ensure that such policies are not violating the law, which could lead to penalties and fines.
