When I was 16, I worked at McDonald's for six miserable months. They would routinely clock us out an hour after closing, whether we were finished cleaning up or not. I was too stupid at the time to know that they couldn't do that.

Yes, it is illegal. Contact your state department of labor. Better yet, tell your employer you're going to do that if they don't reinstate your hour. Then when you get fired for it, you have a lay-down wrongful discharge case. You might want to tell them that, too.

I've worked at a Wal-Mart warehouse in northern California for a long time now. I have had a boss try to get me to work off the clock once. They used to have a built in "window" on the clock because they paid in quarter-hour increments. If you got off the clock within seven minutes after you were supposed to, your time would be adjusted back to the nearest quarter hour. It was done that way because unauthorized overtime resulted in a disciplinary action and people would get sloppy and clock off a few minutes late. That way you could get away with it and not get in trouble. She suggested one shift that the group I was part of use that window every day to do our day end paperwork. I just got really still and asked her in a sarcastic tone,"You're not suggesting that I work off the clock every day are you? I'm sure you wouldn't want to suggest something like that to me." She hemmed and hawed and backed off fairly quickly. |

To make a long story short, Best Buy eventually had to make a blanket payment to any employee that worked for Best Buy during like 1995-2000 [not completely sure] One day I got a check in the mail for all the unpaid labor that everyone had done. |

We have opening meetings and general meetings that occur mid-shift. If we had them at the end we just wouldn't go. But yeah, this is the same reason Wal-Mart has all of these same types of lawsuits going against them right now. Not to say that this is the only reason for the suits, this is just the explanation for some of them. |

Sort of off topic, but...
My company is union. (Teamsters) A fellow employee was fired during a shouting match with the manager. He fought it (for months). Eventually he was paid almost a full year in back pay, along with getting his job back. Then they paid him another 5 grand to go ahead and quit. The worst part of it was... the guy was totally worthless. |

If you're in MO and they routinely screw over employees, you can file a complaint with the Wage and Hour folks. Try laborstandards@dolir.mo.gov
Way back in 19mumblemumble, Bob Dole had a boss who refused to pay us for mandatory staff meetings. That policy came back and bit him on the ass after a call to Wage and Hour and the subsequent investigation. |

Same thing with most homeowner's associations. You wind up with someone who had a bunch of free time winning, but they've never had any power before and don't know how to handle it. |
