When Pre- and Post-Shift Activities Constitute "Hours Worked" that Employers Must Pay For | |
|
By Lukas Clary of Weintraub Tobin
Employees must be compensated for the time they give to their employers. That fundamental tenet of wage-and-hour law seems to be common sense. We know that employers are generally required to compensate their employees for all hours worked, including regular working hours, overtime hours, and any additional time spent on tasks that benefit the employer. But what else may constitute hours worked? When we dig deeper into what is and is not time worked for an employer, things can get a little murky. The issue of what constitutes compensable time has been a topic of legal scrutiny, leading to various court cases that seek to clarify this aspect of labor law. One recent case that made waves in California legal circles is Huerta vs. CSI Electrical Contractors.

Skills Based Hiring is Gaining Ground
Employers try a new hiring approach, with mixed results.
| |
About 18 months ago, Bristol Myers Squibb intensified its commitment to advancing cell therapies, a cutting-edge approach that involves extracting certain cells from an individual, re-engineering them to combat diseases like cancer, and reintroducing them to the patient's body. Recognizing the scarcity of professionals experienced in this nascent technology, BMS adopted a skills-based hiring strategy. This approach prioritizes candidates' abilities and competencies over formal education and direct job experience, broadening the search to include those who might not meet the conventional criteria but possess applicable skills and diverse experiences. Notably, this strategy often forgoes the requirement for a four-year degree, thus widening the talent pool to include individuals from non-traditional educational backgrounds. | |
