"I'll be the judge of that!"


Karen discusses the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and common misconceptions regarding employee compensation, specifically regarding meal periods and overtime. She emphasizes the importance of employers correctly classifying employees as exempt or non-exempt, and the potential financial consequences of misclassification. She also clarifies that employers are not required to provide meal periods, but if they do, they must pay employees for that time. Contrary to popular belief, employees are entitled to be compensated for all hours worked during a work week, including on-call time, training, and travel time.


The Job Judge also answers the question of whether employees should be required to share a hotel room when traveling for work.
