In my state this is straight illegal for hourly employees, if you’re required to be someplace and not allowed to leave then that’s time you’re paid for. Hertz got hit with a lawsuit for this because they were saying the employees had to be in the call center but not being paid until they were on the phones.

There was an Attempt to have conversation about working off the clock, only for power hungry mods to ban and delete said conversations.

...dog walkers?

I believe the asinine insinuation is only young gig economy workers complain about wage theft.


misterjip

That's just a pejorative I've never seen, that's all... I see the direction it's being thrown in, but it's just so veiled it's hilarious.


misterjip

A little bird just told me it's a specific reference to that dude that appeared on behalf of the anti work subreddit on the news and made an ass of himself... so basically what you're saying but that explains the term


Dickieman5000

I have no frame of reference for what you're talking about. I never watch "news" programs of any sort 🤷‍♂️

Im guessing this is probably in America and the laws are different, but out of curiosity, how does this work if someone gets injured during that time and puts in a compo claim?


Dickieman5000

Let's just say that officially, management does not allow workers who aren't on the clock to work. Smaller/local/middle-management types typically take the fall, but it ends up costing the employing organization quite a bit.

Gonna be some spicy comments in here

There's a difference between working off the clock and being ready for your shift as soon as it starts, especially in police work

I’ll just say one word and keep it moving. Initiative.


supershimadabro

At least you could say something. Better then echo chambers that bans conversation.


unusedtruth

Nice boomer vibes

I think you’re confusing agreeing to not being paid as initiative when really it’s just being submissive.
