Unpaid Off-the-Clock Work Claims

Required to work before clocking in, after clocking out, or through unpaid breaks — without being paid for that time.

What This Looks Like

• Required to be on the floor 15 minutes before a shift starts to prep, unpaid.
• Made to clock out for a "break" but keep working through it.
• Expected to answer calls, texts, or emails off the clock without pay.

What Can Affect a Case Like This

What can affect a case like this includes how many unpaid hours were involved each week, how long the practice went on, whether the employer knew or should have known about it, and the lookback period that applies under federal and state law. An attorney reviews these specifics — this is not an estimate of any dollar amount.
