If you're forced to be there, they have to pay you. There have been several cases recently. There was a case against Apple about whether the time spent waiting for them to frisk you counted as payable time, and I believe another against Amazon relating to how long it took to get into their parking lot.

If you walk to the factory (or otherwise have a very predictable commute), you don't have to show up early at all. Also, the source you provided doesn't really support your claim. The examples under "Waiting Time" are all instances where they have to be present, and are waiting for work (which appears randomly/sporadically) to arrive. This is different than having to show up to work at a precise time. >I believe another against Amazon relating to how long it took to get into their parking lot I searched around and can't articles referencing this.

    >Besides the fact that you're changing the subject out of nowhere How is it changing the subject? The argument in your previous comment was literally "If you're forced to be there, they have to pay you". If you're not actually forced to be there, then that puts a giant hole in your argument. >this simply ignores the entirety of the original comment you were responding to The previous comment's argument was also "forced to be there".
