When we enter an Apple Store, we see a lot of employees from one place to another. Serving future buyers or those who have questions about their devices. I have often thought about how lucky these people are to work there. However, all that glitters is not gold and following the sayings, beans are cooked on all sides. When the normal work shift ends, employees are required by security personnel to detect possible theft. That extra time in their jobs, until now, was not paid by the American company, until today.
Apple will have to pay that extra time to pass security checks
Some employees started an offensive against those security measures established by Apple and that delayed their departure time, were not paid by the company. If you add up the minutes that you leave late every day, a year it can be many hours and that had to be paid.
Apple objected to this measure stating that it is part of their job, but the California Supreme Court has agreed with the employees. The judgment of the High Court It specifies that this delay in your departure is indeed part of your job but in time that exceeds the normal schedule and therefore must be paid. In addition, as the measure imposed by Apple is mandatory, it is clear.
If employees decide not to submit to the security measures, you can end up being fired, so more than voluntarily it is mandatory to go through them. It's like working overtime. For this reason, Apple will have to pay its 12.000 Apple Store employees for that time invested.
We do not believe that Apple is concerned about this measure. The company has a lot of money to pay what it owes. The question that occurs to us is: But how can one of the most powerful companies in the world do this? It seems that companies take care of their employees but they do not measure them by the same standard. Anyone who is part of an organization is important and must be valued as they deserve.
