What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kansas
I have been working for a company here part-time for almost 3 years now. It's always bothered me that we are expected to take deposits to the bank at the end of every shift we work, regardless of time of the day, etc. The round trip from work to the bank and back is at least 15 minutes. My question is whether or not they can legally expect this from us without paying us for the bank run? 15 minutes per shift adds up to a lot over time. So, we have to clock out when our shift ends, then take the deposit to the bank before we are truly done working. Is this legal? What, if any, actions could I take?
