ALBUQUERQUE, NM – Employers may request that workers arrive before their shifts begin for briefings but workers must be paid for that time, a lesson that a New Mexico community college learned after a U.S. Department of Labor investigation.
The department’s Wage and Hour Division recovered $70,707 in back wages for 71 security guards at Central New Mexico Community College following an investigation that uncovered violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act’s overtime requirements. The division found that the college required security guards to arrive at work 15 minutes before their shifts for a briefing but systemically failed to record or pay for that time, which led to overtime violations. Failure to record this work time also resulted in the employer being cited for a recordkeeping violation.
