Section 839-020-0046 - Adjusting Grievances, Medical Attention, Civic and Charitable Work and Suggestion Systems

(1) Time spent in adjusting grievances between an employee and employer during the time employees are required to be on the premises is hours worked, but in the event a bona fide union is involved the counting of such time will be left to the process of collective bargaining or to the custom or practice under the collective bargaining agreement.

(2) Time spent by an employee in waiting for and receiving medical attention on the premises or at the direction of the employer during the employee's normal working hours on days when the employee is working constitutes hours worked.

(3) Time spent in work for public or charitable purposes at the employer's request, or under its direction or control, or while the employee is required to be on the premises, is working time. Time spent voluntarily in such activities outside of the employee's normal working hours is not hours worked.

(4) Time spent by employees outside of their regular working hours in developing suggestions under a general suggestion system is not working time, but if employees are permitted to work on suggestions during regular working hours the time spent must be counted as hours worked. When an employee is assigned to work on the development of a suggestion, the time is considered hours worked.
