OK, lets say you as an employer (store owner) who normally opens up at 11am, show up late to work due to traffic, at lets say 11:30am, and an employee who's scheduled to work at 11am, shows up at 11:10am, but you're not there, is he or she entitled to get paid for the time spent outside waiting for you?

Yes, you don't want to upset your employees or get sued for not paying someone while on the clock.

I would think that is right. After all, the store is supposed to open at 11, and if the employee showed up for a scheduled shift (even though late), they should be paid for it. It's not his/her fault you weren't there to open. I had a similar situation at a part time job. As a closer, I was one of two people left at the end of the night with the manager. We clocked out, but then had to wait for the manager to do their paperwork and all, and we weren't allowed to leave the manager there alone. Therefore, after people getting bent out of shape, we started being reimbursed for all the time we sat around waiting for the manager after we had punched out. I think that was only fair, as the manager got paid for it too.

Yes. As the boss you should set the example. Am I safe in assuming that the employee told you that they were late? If so, rewarding their honesty will keep them honest. If you dock them for the 10 minutes they may hide the truth in the future. The only exception to the rule would be if they have a past record of being tardy or excessive absences

this is criminal yet once you had information you have been there they'd the main suitable option your pay and reinstate your bonus. It does appear as if a harsh penalty for what would desire to be an undemanding mistake. the place I worked a supervisor would desire to sign to the main suitable option or regulate time worked. i'm guessing they have a back up technique. What could they do if the computing gadget or the cardboard reader hiccuped?

Yes, but if you're at a workplace that opens at 11:00 and you have a boss that is late, you might try finding another job.

Yes...it's not his/her fault the employer was stuck in traffic. He/she should be paid for the 20 minutes.

Yes. You need to pay them for their scheduled time if it is your fault the store opened late.

If they are hourly they are not legally entitled to get paid for that time. But if it was me, I'd pay them anyway.

I'd say they have to pay the employee. If they don't it's pretty rude.
