Fisher & Phillips: California Court Limits Reporting-time Pay and Clarifies Split-shift Premium Requirements | Practical Law
This Fisher & Phillips memorandum discusses Michael Aleman v. AirTouch Cellular, a putative class action. In this decision, the Court of Appeals of California, Second District held that employees were not entitled to reporting-time pay for attending scheduled store meetings because they were furnished work for at least half the meeting time and paid accordingly. Employees also were not owed one hour of premium pay for working a split-shift because the amount they actually earned in excess of the minimum wage could be accumulated to satisfy the one-hour split-shift premium requirement.
