On December 9, 2014, the United States Supreme Court ruled in a unanimous decision that workers at an Amazon warehouse were not entitled to payment under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), the federal law governing minimum wage and overtime pay, for time spent waiting to undergo and actually taking part in security screenings at the end of each work day. The case, Integrity Staffing Solutions, Inc. v. Busk, involved employees of a staffing agency who worked in warehouses retrieving products from shelves and packaging them for delivery to Amazon customers. At the end of each day, before leaving the workplace, the employees were required to undergo antitheft security screenings. The employees claimed that they spent up to 25 minutes each day waiting to undergo and undergoing the security checks, they were not paid for this time, and such time was compensable “work” time under the FLSA.
