"If thats true, what the hell was Walmart thinking??"
My sentiments exactly. How stupid can a company be to not make it plain to its management to adhere to the letter of the law and/or their agreements with their employees?
I mean, it's not like nobody knows that Wally World is the biggest target of unions, the media, and the left in general for cripes sake. They are under a microscope.
I work at Sam's Club part-time and attend college. I do not understand how the employees are able to work off the clock. The system will not allow it. My bosses are very strict about taking breaks. YOU HAVE TO TAKE THEM!!
Also the computer system locks you out when you clock out and you have to take a 30 minute lunch break. It will not let you clock back in until the 30 minutes has passed.
I work in the office and when it kicks you out- you are out!
Well, and not just comply with the letter of the law, but treat people fairly. Even if it weren't the law the policy should be: If they're working, they're on the clock. If they're on the clock, they better be working.
However, I can't believe Wally management is dumb enough to do something like this. I smell a rat. Wally may have settled the suit rather than face a jury of sheeple that hate them.
