You doing 1 minute overtime? Why?
Logging off and packing up is your time not the companies! /s
(I jest but it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s policy in some places)
I'm happy to pack up on my time and work right up to the buzzer...
...if that means on the other end, the clock starts when I start my commute.
Because that's crazy talk to any employer, I'll prepare to leave on company time.
Back in the day of time cards, that was more or less how it worked (minus the commute part) the machine was either at the front door or in the break room, and you'd punch in, then go to your station, set up and start. End of day, you'd pack up, then punch out on your way out the door.
Many of the companies I've worked for had policies that required you to put on your PPE, gather your tools, and be at your station at the time your scheduled to start. This takes approximately 15-20 minutes. And no, we weren't allowed to leave until relieved by the next person.
Prep time should count as work time, it has anywhere I've worked.
And I believe a couple of the companies I've worked for have been sued, which is why they pay for prep time. But not all the companies in my industry (oil and gas) do.
