Del Rio v. Amazon.com Services, Inc.

Summary

The court held that Connecticut law requires employers to compensate employees for time spent undergoing mandatory security screenings on the employer's premises because that time falls within the statutory definition of all time an employee is required to remain on the premises. The court also held that Connecticut law does not incorporate the federal de minimis exception, and that the state's rounding rule is a mechanism for achieving full compensation rather than an exemption from compensability.
