The hourly employees said they had to:
➛ Badge into the building
➛ Walk long distances to their workstations to clock in, and
➛ Go through mandatory security screenings after clocking out.
Target didn't pay those hourly employees for any of that time. Those few minutes each workday added up to millions of dollars.
If you run a manufacturing, logistics, distribution, or warehousing operation, this story should scare you. "Walking time" and "off-the-clock" wage claims are dangerous, expensive to defend, and even more expensive to resolve.
I put together a new guide — "Best Practices to Prevent Off-the-Clock Wage Claims" — that walks through 11 practical steps to help keep you compliant and out of court.
