No. You must be there before your shift actually starts in order to keep your job. The employer does not necessarily have to pay you for that 15 minutes.

in many cases an employer may be responsible for compensating employees that are required to be at work early. It depends on your specific situation. Call LABAR ADAMS at 407-835-8968 to speak about your case. Consultations are always free. www.OrlandoOvertime.com

It depends, but generally if you are required to be there, then you are entitled to be paid.
