Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Is it legal for an employer to ask you come in at a certain time (such as 8am) but does not pay you until you start your first assignment, which is usually 30-60 minutes later? I have never worked for a company like this before? I was never told I would not be getting paid at 8am. How do I go about addressing this situation? I no longer work for them. Thanks.

In all likelihood they need to pay you from when you come in. There are a few exceptions so you probablly want to speak with an employment attorney that handles wage and hour or flsa work. I would be happy to speak with you. You can also check out my employee rights blog at www.takethisjobnshoveitblog.com.
