Are You Paying Your Employees For All Compensable Time Owed to Them?

Employers fail to pay employee for time that is considered compensable. In general, employees who perform any work (required or not) must be paid for the time they put in. Now there are some exceptions to this but not many.


There are generally 4 different categories to note:

1. Employee Training: If its directly related to the employees job and involuntary (required). 
2. Travel Time: outside the typical "home to work, work to home" commute and required / requested of the employer to serve a customer or the employer. 
3. Waiting Time and On-Call Time (with exception) 
4. Rest Periods: If less than 20 minutes and employee is non-exempt. 

Each of these categories have certain criteria that must be met but in general, if they work, they must be paid. If they're traveling outside normal work to home commute, you pay them.
