Have you had that nightmare where you’re locked into your office and can’t get out? You check all of the doors and everywhere you go, you’re locked in and have no choice but to keep working. For a team at Home Depot doing overnight work, this was a reality.

On top of the safety concerns with this, there were also violations of their break times occurring if a manager was not there to let them out. What do you need to keep in mind when it comes to paying your employees and their designated break times? Chuck and John will take you through the ins and outs of paying your employees.

Our Listener Question asks about a hot-button topic - requiring remote workers to come into the office when out of state. See how the team views this situation and what tips to keep in mind when it comes to making remote work policies for your company.

In the HR News segment, the team touches on the following topics and more:

• SCOTUS decisions were handed down on the following subjects:
  • Religious accommodations on schedules
  • Affirmative action in college admissions and how this ties into the workforce
  • How religious beliefs are permitted to impact serving customers

The viewpoints expressed by the characters in the stories are not necessarily that of The Team at HR Stories. The stories are shared to present various, real-world scenarios and share how they were handled by policy and, at times, law. Chuck and John are not lawyers and always recommend working with an employment lawyer to address concerns.
