Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether hourly employees at Northrop Grumman’s Elkridge, Maryland facility were fully paid for all required pre-shift and post-shift work activities. Northrop Grumman operates aerospace, defense, electronics, and technology facilities that often require employees to work within secured and controlled-access environments.
What Workers Report
Workers may report:
- Walking long distances before clocking in or after clocking out.
- Being required to arrive early to pass through security checkpoints, badge-access locations, or controlled-access areas.
- Time spent walking between parking areas, entrances, timeclocks, and assigned work locations.
- Time spent reaching manufacturing, technical, warehouse, or support areas before paid shifts begin.
- Time spent walking back to timeclocks or facility exits after shifts end.
- Not being paid for all time spent performing required activities on company property.
Why Workers Should Be Concerned
Hourly workers generally must be paid for all compensable work time. If employees are required to perform activities before clocking in or after clocking out, they may be losing wages and overtime pay.
Potential claims may include:
- Unpaid wages
- Unpaid overtime
- Failure to pay for required pre-shift and post-shift activities
- Wage-and-hour violations
