I talked to the Labor Board. What they are doing is perfectly legal "as a company needs a start time for each date" They only way I would get hours for a double is if I work 16 hrs (2 pm to 6 am) and then return to work 8 hours later at 2 pm. That shift would then count as a double. What makes me mad is that for 4 years we have always been paid for working 16 hrs straight through regardless of which shifts they were.. I feel this is very unfair to the pm shift. It is usually noc shift that calls off and the pm shift is the one who has to do the most 16 hr shifts. They only way to get double time pay is with this scenario: I come to work on Monday. I clock in at 2 pm and end having to stay until 6 am Tues, IF I am scheduled to work on Tues, my double time shift will start at 2 pm Tues when I clock in. If I do not work any hours after 6 am on Tues then the previous 16 hours I just worked are paid at straight time. This is unfair in my eyes. If I started work at 6 am or 10 pm and worked 16 hrs straight it would automatically be a double every time. It should be 16 hours is 16 hours, a double is a double. I was very nice about the show up time pay thing. I just informed them of it and apparently threw the entire company into an uproar as they thought I was going to sue for back pay. I am now reconsidering filing for back pay on the show up time pay deal. I went to 4-5 meeting a month for over 3 years and was only paid for the actual time of the meeting, which at times were literally only 15 minutes long. Since I brought this little rule to their attention we only have one meeting a month now and they last 2-3 hrs. Rough estimation they owe mo ove2 120 hrs of back pay for unpaid show up time pay.
