Time Well Spent Session 7: Compensable Work Time
About the Program
Much has happened in the ten years since our national Wage and Hour Litigation Practice Group wrote ALM’s authoritative Wage & Hour Collective and Class Litigation treatise. We are excited to continue our informative webinar series to discuss—in bite-sized increments—the past decade’s most important changes to the federal and state employee pay litigation landscape.
The final installment of our “Time Well Spent” webinar series focuses on the central question of what constitutes “work time” for which nonexempt employees must be paid. The panelists focus on hot litigation topics addressing the scope of compensable “work time” under the FLSA and California law, such as:
- Time spent on meal periods and rest breaks;
- Time spent undergoing security checks;
- Time spent booting up and shutting down computers and programs;
- Time spent traveling to and from work sites, both on-premises and off-premises;
- Time spent in training, or in an internship capacity; and
- Time spent checking and responding to employment-related emails or texts after regular work hours.
The panelists’ discussion addresses application of the de minimis doctrine in federal and California courts, as well as important developments regarding employer practices such as “rounding” recorded work time and allowing timeclock “grace periods.”
In addition, the panelists explore best practices for managing and supervising compensable work hours for employees working from home or in a hybrid capacity.

Our Wage & Hour Collective and Class Litigation treatise, published by ALM Law Journal Press, is widely recognized as an authoritative resource on the subject and is commonly used by lawyers, judges, and academicians in researching the many complex and evolving procedural and substantive defense issues that may ultimately determine case outcomes.
