Political Factoid

Some retail employers are starting
to pay employees only for the
time spent waiting on customers.
  • It started with part time work and split shifts
    (e.g., 6am-8am and 11am-1pm at the fast food counter).
  • No complete shifts, no overtime, no benefits.
  • Work only during busy days to work only when
    called in by the supervisor.
  • Expected to be "on call" and able to respond
    within 15 minutes.
  • Paid only for the equivalent of "billable hours."
  • i.e., no pay during slack hours of slow
    customer traffic
