That "7-minute rounding rule" your employer calls standard is only legal if it actually evens out over time.
Here's the reality: if you clock in at 8:04 and they round to 8:15, then clock out at 5:11, and they round to 5:00, you’ve just lost 20 minutes of pay that day. Multiply that by five days a week, and you’re missing out on nearly two hours of pay every single week.
Federal law requires these policies to be neutral. When they only work in your employer’s favor, it’s not just a rounding error; it could be wage theft, and that money belongs to you.
