This is their policy and I am not sure if this is allowed according to the FLSA.

depends on the job
if you had to punch out late because you were still tied up finishing work on something that couldn't be dropped at a scheduled time, then your employer has to pay you.
If you punch in early or punch out late regularly, beyond scheduled time in your employment contract, without agreement from your employer, then your employer may not have to pay you that extra time.
If your employer told you to come in early and work late, then your employer must pay you for that.
I often stay later at my work to check e-mails and clean my desk, but I do not charge my employer extra worktime, unless I'm still serving a client and can't just walk out.on them just because the clock says its 5:00 pm.

contained in the US, an employer could pay you for all hours worked. In some states, there's a mandated lunch destroy. In NM that is 1/2-hour and that is as a lot because the employer no matter if that is paid or no longer. in spite of the undeniable fact that, that is needed and the employer can deduct the pay from the paycheck no matter if the worker took it or no longer. The employer can't stress the worker no longer to take the destroy. Your state guidelines would variety. in the adventure that your state has a needed destroy gadget, attempt to be taking your breaks. in the adventure that your employer is forcing you to artwork by skill of your breaks, they could be in violation of their state guidelines. really, if you're operating, you're on the clock and attempt to be getting paid. if you're clocked out, you're not any further operating. If this keeps and administration insists on breaking the guidelines, flow on your state's salary and Hour branch and report a criticism. If the violations are got here upon to be systemic, the employer will be in significant worry.

Yes, it is legal. You have a policy start time and a policy stop time. All overtime needs to be pre-approved or there is a minor risk of not being paid OT. You are to be prepared to start work, not to get ready to work, when the clock strikes start time. It is legal to hold you to your policy defined shift.

no thats not legal, for the early part that is. i dont know why you would do something dumb like clock in thirty minutes early when your not supposed to, but they would have to let you go early that day or something to make it even again. u can't work and not get paid, its that simple.

I believe it is illegal if they tell you to do it. If they tell you 'we don't pay for clocking in early' and you choose to do so anyway, than it's on you.
