DID YOU KNOW? Wisconsin Labor Standards provides employees the right to inspect, review and request copies of their personnel records (up to 2x's per year)! Past employees are also covered under this law (2 years past leaving the company) But Don't take our word for it!! Near the bottom of this page is a link to the Wisconsin's Dept. of Workforce and Development, Labor Standards Division! Learn more there! |

Can my employer require me to stay in his building or on his property for lunch but not pay me for that time?
From what we've learned we believe the answer to be NO!!!
According to DWD's Labor Standard Division -
Employers must pay employees for "on duty" meal periods. An "on duty" meal period is one where the worker is not provided at least 30 consecutive minutes free from work, or where the worker is not free to leave the employer’s premises. Employers may not deduct from a worker's wages for any time off of less than 30 consecutive minutes.
I worked over 45 hours last week but my employer said he doesn't have to pay over-time because we're a non union shop...is that true?
By following any of the links on this page, you will be placed on Wisconsin's Dept. of Workforce and Development website - There's a TON of info to be gathered there!! Learn you rights...Assert your rights...IT'S YOUR LEGAL RIGHT! Don't let them (abusive employers) bully you!!
Your employer is most likely violating your labor rights. There are a few exceptions to the rule but see the following and follow the link for information at DWD's website.
