Web Tool Clarifies Which Activities Constitute Hours Worked

Confused about whether you must pay your employees for break or meal time? What about vacations or jury duty? The U.S. Department of Labor created a special Web tool to help employers understand which of an employee’s work-related activities are considered “hours worked”—and therefore hours for which they must be paid. DOL’s Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Hours Worked Advisor, located at www.dol.gov/elaws/esa/flsa/hoursworked/default.php, provides information about the general principles for determining hours worked and outlines how they apply in common workplace scenarios. Specific circumstances addressed include training and orientation programs; on-call time; travel time; civic or charitable work; physical exams and drug testing; holidays, vacation and sick time; and breaks and meal periods. This resource is one of several online elaws (Employment Laws Assistance for Workers and Small Businesses) Advisors developed by DOL. For a complete list, visit www.dol.gov/elaws.

Funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration. Additional funding is provided through the Rutgers Business School: Graduate Programs-Newark and New Brunswick.
