Question

In IBP, Inc. v. Alvarez, the court examined the issue of when time spent by the employee at a meat processing plant is compensable. They determined that employers must pay employees when they are engaged in a principal activity related to the accomplishment of their job and that in this case:
A.Employees are engaged in a principal activity as soon as they arrive on the worksite.
B.Since the employees are paid for cutting and bagging meat, they are only engaged in a principal activity when cutting and bagging meat.
C.Because the employees are required to don protective equipment, they are engaged in a principal activity while donning the equipment and when cutting and bagging meat, but the Portal to Portal Act excludes pay for time spent walking to their work station.
D.The Portal to Portal Act does not apply to the walk from the locker room to the employees work station so the employee's principal activity begins with the donning of the protective gear and continues to include their work station activities.
