Time Spent In Post-Shift Security Checks Once Again Held Not Compensable

If you have Amazon Prime, you get free delivery in two business days. If you want to pay extra (whether Amazon Prime or not), you can get your order the next day. So how long does it take for Amazon to get rid of a case the United States Supreme Court says is meritless? Seven years now ... and counting.

We've previously blogged the case of Integrity Staffing Solutions, Inc. v. Busk, 135 S. Ct. 513 (2014). That case considered the issue of whether time spent by Amazon warehouse workers going through security checks at the end of their workdays was compensable. The case was initially filed in 2010. Reversing the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, a unanimous Supreme Court held in 2014 that the time was not compensable, concluding that the time spent was not "integral and dispensable" to the workers' duties.
