Reporting Time Pay

Reporting time pay is designed to discourage employers from requiring employees to report to a job unless there is work to be done.

You must pay reporting time pay if employees report for work as scheduled or at your request but aren't put to work or are given less than half of the hours they were scheduled for or usually work.

Reporting time pay must be paid at the employee's regular rate of pay, which may be different from the employee's hourly rate of pay and can never be less than the minimum wage. Read more about the regular rate of pay in Calculating Overtime.
