QUESTION
When do I start getting paid at work?
Asked on Aug 26th, 2016 on Labor and Employment - Ohio
More details to this question:
I work construction and the other day I arrived to the job site at the time I was asked to. When I arrived my vehicle got stuck in the mud and took me a while to get out. My employer wants me to start getting paid/clock in at the time I strapped my tool belt on and started working. I find this unreasonable since I was on time, actually early but ran into a problem that I fixed with no help. When should I really clock in and is there a specific law that states any of this for me to show my employer?

You should speak with an Ohio wage and hour attorney. It is possible you are not being paid for all of the time you should be compensated for. Many attorneys offer free consultations and work on contingency fees.
