US Supreme Court: Amazon employee screening is not paid

According to the BusinessWeek website reported that the United States Supreme Court decision of 9th, Amazon (Amazon) warehouse workers queued past security before you go home from work is not paid.

Amazon's warehouse workers earlier said they have every time security check in line more than 25 minutes, they think this time should be counted in hours, Amazon, however, dismissed the allegations, and employees through security almost every day without having to wait for, the company said.

Supreme Court decision rejected the employees ' request, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in the trial: "employees in a screening period, there is no off the shelf work such as unloading or loading the product is packaged. "Another reason for judges to be Amazon employees is that they can apply for additional screeners to reduce wait times, Thomas said the whole matter can be solved through consultation, no need to move to court.

The Court held that, unlike meat cutters grinding tool or battery safety shower time, warehouse workers and the total absence of any time through security in line with warehouse work related things. Federal law does not require companies to give employees with jobs unrelated issue to pay extra wages, not security staff employed by main category. So even if the company refused to improve screening efficiency, employees can only accept the reality. Seems to want to put screening into hours, Amazon's warehouse workers have to find another way.
