I’m in a situation with my manager who is suggesting that clock-in starts when the employee arrives to the site of work. Effectively saying that everyone should be coming in 15 minutes earlier than their start time.
The majority of what I read online was about security checks when leaving the premises instead of entering. And the results of a couple class actions seem like the law has loose interpretation.
Wondering what your experiences have been like dealing with this situation. Are you paid for your time traveling on company premises?
For ref this takes place in California.
Contact HR. Ask for clarity. They won’t want a potential class action on their hands depending on the size of the company/state law.
If not satisfied with the answer, contact the state board of labor. They should be able to give better answers then random internet strangers.
Just remember that HR serves the company, not the employees. You want to phrase things so that you aren’t seen as the primary problem. It’s you and the company Vs the potential problem (in this case, the manager’s policy), not you Vs the company.
