Connecticut Supreme Court Rules Screening Time Must Be Paid
The Connecticut Supreme Court recently issued an impactful decision that will affect how employers across the state handle security screening procedures and wage calculations. In Del Rio v. Amazon.com Services, Inc., the court held that time employees spend undergoing mandatory security screenings on their employer’s premises is compensable as “hours worked” under Connecticut General Statutes § 31-76b(2)(A). The court also held that Connecticut’s wage laws do not incorporate a de minimis exception that would permit employers to disregard small amounts of otherwise compensable time spent by the employees undergoing the security checks.
