Recently, the company I work for decided to move the time clock to the complete opposite side of the building from our entrance. We work with (packaged) food and drink but must comply with USDA regulations and our own GMPs. This includes donning a smock, hairnet, beardnet, and safety glasses before we can even clock in, since it is located on the production floor. I know nothing about laws, but I do know the DoL gets very upset about working while not on the clock.
This is mostly a rant, but advice is welcomed. Legal advice/lawsuit advice also welcomed. Kinda funny this happens soon after being bought out by a larger company with multiple locations, huh? Feel like I’m being nickel and dimed any chance they get. They’ve also so far failed to adhere to their referral program, but that’s another story.
