US supreme court backs workers in pay dispute
The US Supreme Court ruled yesterday that companies must pay workers for the time is takes to change into protective clothing and safety gear and walk to their workstations. While the court ruled nearly 50 years ago that companies had to pay employees for the time it took to put on safety gear, this ruling focused on the time employees spend walking from place to place.
Somewhat confusingly, however, the court also ruled that employees are not eligible for pay for time spent waiting in line for equipment and safety gear when they first arrive at work. Essentially, the minute an employee starts donning safety gear or enters a facility to begin their work must be paid.
