What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
My situation is that I am a physical therapist and see patients throughout the day. This time of year business gets slow with deductibles resetting and my manager recently asked me to start clocking out if I have large gaps between patients. I am a hourly employee and it states in my offer letter that I am scheduled for 40 hours a week. My manager hasn't stated that I must remain on the premises, but it's extremely hard to leave if I only have a hour before the next patient arrives. Is this legal for them to ask of me? Thanks for any advice.
