An employee of a fast food chain has to arrive at work 15 minutes early to change into the “mascot” costume and it typically takes another 15 minutes at the end of the shift to change out of the costume and properly store it. Due to the cost of the costume, employees are not allowed to take the costume home. The “mascots” typically work from 10am – 2pm, to cover the lunch rush periods. How much time would be “compensable” for the mascots, assuming the conditions/schedule listed above? 2) George is a Radiology Technician at a local hospital and when on call, is required to be no further than 30 minutes away from the facility. Is the “on call” time, compensable?
