I’ll not try to convince you. The info is from the US Dept of Labor. I have been pressured to come in early and work off the clock when the director of my department wanted to move the start times from 5:00am to 5:30am to avoid paying shift bonus. Most people don’t want an adversarial relationship with their employer so they go along with what the boss wants.

“Employers paying less than they are supposed to”

If your employer doesn’t pay you the proper amount, you can easily just report them and the government will force them to pay you along with possible fines. So they’d get screwed over real quick for almost no effort on the workers part.

“Work off the clock”

I don’t understand. Do they hold a gun to the head of the employee or something? How are they FORCING someone to work off the clock?
