<prompt> Human: Hello guys. Basically my employer is doing something I think is illegal but wanted advice and too see if I can get lost wages back. My jobs has 2 different types of employees working each day our boss requires one to come in 10-15 minutes early and the other 15-20 minutes. I always get there 10 minutes early but dont think its fair to make me come in 20 minutes early and work set things up, clean, etc. before I am paid. I have gotten emails sorta threatening I would get written up or lose hours if I dont come in 15-20 minutes early. Can my boss require this? I am paid by the hour by the way as is the other job which I work both of them. Is there a way to recover wages or make them stop doing this or is my employer in the right here?  <response>: I used to work at a pizza place years ago. It took ten minutes for the computer to run the final report for the day, and you had to have all employees off the clock to do it. So as closing manager, youd clock out and then run the report. As a trade off, the owner told us to an extra ten minute break whenever it was slow in the evening, or make a pizza to take home for free.But Im pretty sure what your boss is doing is illegal.
