Weekly Article

Pay for Work Performed at Home
By MRA

If an employee is unable to complete assigned work during the day and decides to take it home to finish, is the employer required to pay the employee for the time spent working at home? The answer is an emphatic “yes.”

The Department of Labor states, “In all such cases it is the duty of the management to exercise its control and see that the work is not performed if it does not want it to be performed. It cannot sit back and accept the benefits without compensating for them. The mere promulgation of a rule against such work is not enough. Management has the power to enforce the rule and must make every effort to do so.” This rule applies whether an employee performs work at the workplace or at home. If the employer is getting the benefit of the employee’s efforts, it must pay for them. Of course, overtime must be paid for any hours over 40 worked in a week.

The employer is liable if it knew or should have known the work was being performed and suffered or permitted the work to be done. The employer is not liable for failing to pay for the work only if, despite reasonable inquiries, it did not know the work was being performed. In order to make sure employees are not working without employer knowledge, employers need to keep good records and inform employees that all work time needs to be approved.

Taking unfinished work home cannot be a pay issue, but may be a performance issue. If work is not correctly completed during the workday, it is the supervisor’s responsibility to work with the employee to determine why the work is not being completed. It may be a problem of ability, motivation, or workload. A coaching session with feedback and follow-up may help to determine the cause, generate solutions, and either get the employee on track or determine that the employee cannot do the job.

Final Note - On The Lighter Side
