United States Supreme Court
IBP, Inc. v. Alvarez, 03-1238, 04-66
During a continuous workday, any walking time that occurs after the beginning of the employee-s first principal activity, such as the donning of protective gear, and before the end of the employee-s last principal activity is compensable under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA); however, the time employees spend waiting to don the first piece of protective gear that marks the beginning of the continuous workday is excluded from FLSA coverage.
