Of course they should get paid for locking the doors, minimum wage or not. You claim hourly salary would drop, but at places that pay people correctly, it doesn't. Say a store is open from 10 am to 10pm. You hire one person to work 8 hours in the middle of the day. They come in say at noon, work 8 hours and leave at 8. Someone else comes in at 2 and works till closing, say 10:30. They do an extra half hour to clean up and lock up, so they should get paid less?
- icebraining 11y agoI suppose in a shop where workers have a fixed schedule (e.g. noon to 8pm, 2pm to 10pm) that might happen, but the vast majority of retail jobs aren't like that. According to surveys, besides personal experience, something like 80%+ of retail jobs have at least shifts, if not full on-demand schedules, so there's no set of workers that always close the shop and others that don't - they all do, some of the days.
