Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether Walden Security failed to compensate armed security officers for mandatory work performed before and after scheduled shifts.
What Workers Report
Walden Security workers report:
- Picking up firearms before clocking in.
- Obtaining radios and protective equipment.
- Passing through required security screening before reaching assigned posts.
- Returning equipment after shifts.
- Cleaning or securing issued weapons.
- Completing required documentation after clocking out.
Why Workers Should Be Concerned
Even small amounts of unpaid work each day may become significant over time.
Federal and state wage laws generally require employers to compensate employees for all required work activities, including time spent obtaining required equipment or completing mandatory post-shift duties.
Potential Claims May Include
- Off-the-clock work
- Failure to pay overtime
- Failure to pay minimum wages
- Wage statement violations
- Waiting time penalties
- State wage law violations

- You worked as an armed Walden Security officer.

- You completed weapon clearing or cleaning after shifts.
- You attended mandatory briefings without pay.
- Your recorded work time excluded required preparation activities.
