Many workers at Green Thumb Industries locations are required to arrive before their shift and wait in line to pass through a security screening before they are permitted to clock in. At the end of the shift, workers are similarly required to clock out and then undergo another security screening before they can leave. This time spent waiting in line and passing through security is work time — and under federal law, it must be compensated.
The Fair Labor Standards Act requires employers to pay workers for all compensable time worked. If you worked for Green Thumb Industries and were required to go through security screenings before or after your paid shift without compensation, you may be entitled to recover those unpaid wages. Fill out the short quiz below to see if you qualify.
“Being required to show up early or stay late without pay puts an unfair burden on workers.”
