I guarantee if the employees in question were union, GD would be all over this shit like the ketchup/mustard combo on Happy Meals.

So, I get my check from Joe and Bob's Ambulance service and it's well below what it should be.

I go into the office and ask what the fuck.  They tell me that they went back and looked at all the time I spent on the clock that I wasn't on a run, doing a squad checkout, station duties etc. and deducted that time off of my week since I wasn't working.

Do I have the right to sue them?  Should I win my case?

So employers are not required to follow labor laws?

Employment isn't an agreement between to entities to exchange one thing for another?
View Quote


It's an agreement. Agreements usually have terms.

Terms like - you work the hours agreed upon between you and your manager.

You come in early, stay late, come in on an off day, work OT - without manager's approval, then don't expect to get paid.

It's still their rules.

If you could get paid just for clocking in, people would work early, late, all the freaking time they'd be on the clock.

There are still rules to be followed.

Perhaps my first post was a little harsh though.

Should the labor laws apply?  Because I'm pretty sure that part of the agreement of any job when you get hired is that they will comply with labor laws regarding your wages, hours, PTO, sick leave etc.

Depends what the terms of your contract with them state.

And it would depend on what you were doing in idle time. Were you still alert enough to monitor incoming dispatch requests? Were you studying new material? Were you reading industry blogs?

I was probably watching TV completely unrelated to my job or sleeping in the bunk room.  We have dispatchers that call the station to notify us when we have a call.

I have no contract with them.

Meh, I used to do this frequently at a couple restaurants I've managed (not fast food).  Pretty common in the industry though.

Cooks getting close to OT and all the work not finished, I tell them to clock out and go home..  They look at me, go clock out, and then go back to work

I've told servers that they have to clock out and go home because they're about to hit OT, they clock out and continue working for tips only.


With the introduction to Obamacare, this is going to become an extreme problem for ALL restaurants.


ETA:  I even used to do that if labor was running high...  most were good sports about working off the clock, just buy them a couple beers and dinner.  The ones that had a problem with it just got their shifts reduced down to one night a week until they quit.

Slicing some time off a paycheck is no worse than excessive smoke breaks that employees take.



I once worked for a company once that would slice my check if I went over 40 hours per week. I could have "called the man" on them, but I didn't. I kept working there and it paid me OK money at a time when I really needed it. Reporting it would have just caused me to be without a job.

No self-respecting libertarian I've ever met was ok with fraud/theft.



That said, I'm skeptical about the claims.

Well, in that case the "lazy employee should have been confronted/fired for their actions.
Just as the stores in question should have to answer for stealing the wages that were worked. Yes, worked.


As long as they were allowed to punch in and stay on the clock they were working and need to be paid for it, per the application contract.


Yes, if they knew it was happening and kept working there they were not very smart, but it doesn't allow justification for the franchises to be breaking the law. They could have quit, just as they could have been fired. But that didn't happen. Theft did.

Why should they get paid if there isn't revenue being generated? They'd do well to increase sales by providing a quality experience. You scare your customers away? You don't get paid.

No, that would be against the law.  The Federal Government or State Government, using the powers granted them in their respective constitutions should micro-manage small businesses, the free marketplace be damned.   At least that's what the statists would want.

Unless you're in defense contracting, then it's a bidding strategy called "mandatory uncompensated overtime" as in work 50, get paid for 40. Work 38, get paid for...you guessed it - 38.

Meh, I used to do this frequently at a couple restaurants I've managed (not fast food).  Pretty common in the industry though.

Cooks getting close to OT and all the work not finished, I tell them to clock out and go home..  They look at me, go clock out, and then go back to work

I've told servers that they have to clock out and go home because they're about to hit OT, they clock out and continue working for tips only.


With the introduction to Obamacare, this is going to become an extreme problem for ALL restaurants.


ETA:  I even used to do that if labor was running high...  most were good sports about working off the clock, just buy them a couple beers and dinner.  The ones that had a problem with it just got their shifts reduced down to one night a week until they quit.

Shit like this is why I stay out of the EE.

Reminder to self: ask food service employees if they are on the clock before ordering.  Wouldn't want to be the recipient of food from a disgruntled cook or waitress who feels they are being forced to work off the clock to maintain employment status.

Also: a manager who does that is a dick, regardless of industry SOP.

I'm so glad there are still people like Cliven Bundy, to counter all the pussies there are in this country.

The guy that hasn't paid his grazing fees for 20 years?

He's one of them.

Cliven Bundy? The man who is complaining about land that doesn't even belong to him?

Their business, their rules. If employees want to be compensated appropriately, they should find work elsewhere.



No one is forcing them to work at McDonalds.... they voluntarily stay and put up with it.

That thing you said there.  It makes you sound stupid.

There's others in the thread that admit to being managers and doing things similar to their employees. I ain't the only one here.
