Re:Yes. (Score 1)

I worked front desk at a hotel/casino and I had to handle cash. We would have to go to the casino cage (bank) and get our cash drawer, count it to make sure it was accurate, and then proceed to go upstairs where we would punch the clock. If we didn't punch the clock, we were late. This process took an extra 15-20 minutes. Technically, this is illegal since we are working or preparing for our shift. However, they compensated us by paying us for our lunch break (30 minutes). However, that lunch break benefit applied to all service employees (housekeepers, engineers) who didn't have to put in any extra time before their shift. Now that I think about it, that's illegal and somebody should sue.
