Apple has a policy with its employees that can cost millions of dollars, at least in the state of California. After an anonymous complaint, the court granted the reason to the company's employees and Apple would have to pay them the "extra time" lost by these workers before heading home.
Apple is forcing that All personal packages, bags and Apple devices owned by your Apple Store employees are reviewed It is the manager or someone from security before the employee leaves the store for any reason, including breaks, lunch and end of departure.
Now the court has settled that that time lost several times a day should be compensated for & # 39; overtime & # 39; that the employee should continue in his or her position.

A practice that could cost millions of Apple
The case was won by Apple in the past, however, but plaintiffs have appealed and now the California Supreme Court has ruled the law obliges employees to be compensated While waiting for load records.
"The time worked is defined as the time when the employee is in charge of the employer and includes all the time that the employee suffers or is allowed to work, whether or not it is required to do so."
The biggest problem is that Apple employees have to wait a normal time between 5 and 20 minutes before leaving, sometimes up to 45 minutes to wait for registration. In addition, it is the employees themselves who have to find the person in charge or security. This means that during the week workers can lose hours, and now have to be compensated.
This Apple trend is a thing it is more common in supermarkets and storesHowever, this waiting period cannot be longer, and if so, it should now be compensated.
