Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

Need to know when the time starts exactly. Is it when you badge in? Sign on? What if you badge out to get something from your car or walk across campus? Can we view how many hours we are “in office” or do we just have to take their word for it? I can we disagree with their reporting? I had issues with the report showing me “in office”. Turns out their reporting was wrong.

I agree with everything you said! Rock n rolla!!!

yes, you are compensated more for the work than the time but if your boss says that work takes 60 hours per week to do then they can force you to work 60 hrs a week.

OP - you are an id--t. Yes, exempt employees can be told how many hours they must work. Not only that, but technically there is not limit on the number of hours you can be told to work if not stipulated in employment agreement...

Exempt employees are compensated for the work they deliver, not for punching a clock. Forcing a rigid eight-hour onsite schedule makes the role feel more like hourly work and could create questions about proper classification(where is our overtime?). Make sure OT hours are included in the so called reporting as well.

Employees with exempt/salaried status is meant to recognize responsibility and allow flexibility, not tie people to a timecard and unassigned cubes. They cannot have it both ways.

THE POLICY IS ILLEGAL, and that is why it was communicated out by managers instead of being communicated by HR to all US based employees.

Come on @OP , inquiring minds want to know where and what this NEW law is. Because it sure isn’t the current federal law defining exempt and non-exempt. Or let me guess, you’re reading the dictionary definition of those words and not referring to actual labor or case law. Ahh, ok, got it now.

You’re missing the boat….literally. Hours in office isn’t what you should be going to your elected officials about. It’s shipping your jobs overseas. I posted this on another thread but it goes here too:

The current administration can say whatever they want (and they usually do) about “helping American workers.” They brag about kicking out illegal immigrants. Great. They raise visa costs. Fine. But here’s the part they conveniently “forget”: every single month, a cruise ship full of white-collar American jobs sets sail for overseas — all for pennies on the yen.

So if you actually care about American workers, tell the a$$holes you vote for to stop rubber-stamping corporate giants like Shi’te Fargo as they ship our livelihoods across the ocean.

I think that the reason they don’t have anything in writing about this other than a manager guide is that they are scared of lawsuits. Let’s get the word out to the press and see what happens. I haven’t been treated like this since I worked at a car wash.

employers can legally require exempt employees to work a set schedule and number of hours, even over 40 hrs a week. what they can't do is reduce your pay if you work less than 40 hours in a week. so if they say you need to be in office 8 hours a day and you aren't, nothing stopping them from punishing you for it.

It’s not illegal to tell exempt employees where and how long they have to work. But anyway, where is it supposed guidance on teamworks. I’ve searched and there are no policy changes and there’s nothing published.

Got a link to this law?
