What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tennessee
Is it considered 'working off the clock' if your Manager calls you on a day that you have called out sick to discuss and make sure you understand all facts of a disciplinary meeting she held the day before with you while you were at work?
I work in a virtual call center work at home as a customer service rep. We had a meeting in which I was given a Written Warning about my Schedule Adherance not meeting the required 92%. After work, I became ill with a stomach flu and called out sick the next day. My Manager's District Supervisor called me at home saying she noticed I had called out and wanted to make sure I understood what had been said in the meeting the day before. She kept me on the phone for 30 minutes. When I came back to work after the sickness, I told my Manager what had happened, what was discussed and how long I was on the phone with District Manager and asked that I be paid for that 30 min. She stated she would bring up to District Manager about my request. She did ask and District Manager told her to tell me that their would be no compensation for that time on the phone call. I feel strongly that she is breaking the law by not compensating me. Am I right?
