Our employment attorneys have found that employers typically round to the nearest 15 minutes or quarter-hour. This allows for the “7 minute rule,” where: the first 7 minutes to the increment, 1 through 7, are rounded down, and. the final 7 minutes, or 8-15, are rounded up.
If appropriate, the Department of Labor may litigate and/or recommend criminal prosecution. Employers who have willfully violated the law may be subject to criminal penalties, including fines and imprisonment.
