Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida
The Right To Be Paid for Sleep Time
I work at a Group Home facility where I am able to sleep during the night, however, I am still responsible for residents while in the house. If they awake, I can claim those hours, however, if I am a sleep and they are asleep, I do not get paid. Is this legal?

Re: The Right To Be Paid for Sleep Time
The answer to your questions is that it depends upon how you are compensated--hourly or salary, and what number of hours your compensation is based on. The likely answer is that it is legal for your employer to treat these times differently.
