It sounds like the post-shift screening shouldn't be necessary. If they're not paying you, you should be free to go. The worker should try opting-out of the screening: it should be an OSHA issue if you can't freely leave the building at anytime.
- plasticchris 7y agoMost likely they are an at will employee in the USA so they would just be fired.
- korzun 7y ago> it should be an OSHA issue if you can't freely leave the building at anytime Why in the world would that be an OSHA issue?
- paxys 7y ago"Sure you are free to go. And don't bother showing up tomorrow."
- JMTQp8lwXL 7y agoIf everyone started refusing, they might be willing to change policy. That much overturn at once could be problematic.
- paxys 7y agoAll workers banding together and presenting a united front? Sounds familiar..
- Dylan16807 7y agoAt that point you're very far from a legality issue.

- privateSFacct 7y agoYou can always freely leave the building. This is true for almost any business. You don't need to "opt out" of the screening - you can literally just say "I quit" and walk out. What really needs to happen is a federal or state law modification - time under control of employer required to maintain job is time worked. Why this is for courts to legislate is silly.
- humble_engineer 7y agoThe screenings are to prevent people from stealing things. There is no OSHA problem, you can leave the building through fire exits at any time, but they will set off alarms.
