I'm on a hourly (minimum) wage, not a salary. Am I entitled (by law) to be paid for attending the staff meeting?

Yes.

In the U.S. -
If the meeting is held outside of your regular work hours (like during your lunch time, before your shift starts or after your shift ends), and attendance is mandatory, then yes, you should be paid for your time. If the meeting is not mandatory for you to attend and it is your choice whether to go or not then no, the time is not compensable.

As long as the meeting is mandatory and you are requireed to attend in the capacity of an employee and not an individual. If you do not have the the freedom to choose to attend or not then you are to be compensated for your time.

In the US, you must be paid for all hours that you work, including time spent in business meetings.
Visit www.dol.gov. Find the "wage order" for your industry. That will explain your rights to minimum wage, base pay, and overtime pay.
Good luck.

Absolutely, and it should be for a minimum of 4 hours regardless of the duration of the meeting if you are called in during your time off.

as quickly as I worked for an hourly salary, I had to clock in for any team conferences. i think that it is regulation which you gets a commission for those forms of issues in case you're hourly. it is the employer's time and the employer is looking you to come back in to artwork via going to the employees assembly.

Absolutely. If it's work-related, they have to pay you. Be sure to include it on your time sheet. If they're not paying you for it, then talk to your local Department of Labor to find out your options.

Absolutely, but you must report the time spent in meetings to the payroll department, if you don't clock in, they don't know you are there.

I believe so. My ex is paid for them, I'm paid for them. I believe you are entitled to be paid for them.

Yes, put it on your time record. If it is required they have to pay you.
