<prompt> Human: Today, the power went down for much of my town. I was working fast food at the time, and my managers made us clock out and we couldnt leave the store. From my impression, it was under direct orders from the general managers and the owner. If we had to stay in the store, still under our employers control, should we still have been compensated for our time?  <response>: yes. youre an hourly employee, so you absolutely should get paid for the time you were not allowed to leave.
