Reply to comment by Linenoise77 in Lawsuit seeks $5M in wages for Great Adventure hourly workers: The class action lawsuit says workers should be paid for time spent walking across Great Adventure amusement park by rollotomasi07071

I worked there briefly decades ago so I don't know if it's the same routine but I'd have to check in to find out what section of the park I'd be working in, then get the uniform (there was sometimes a wait for this) and change into it before walking to my station. All that could take 45 minutes or longer and it was unpaid.

In that case, in my mind you should be on the clock from the moment you check in. If six flags doesn't want to pay you, they should provide uniforms you can take home, and let you know what to wear and then you dress at home.

Basically once you checked in, you are waiting on your employer, so it should be on their dime.

That's exactly the issue. When I worked at Wawa counting the drawer was paid time. Sick flags hasn't done that and its almost definitely illegal.
