Protective Gear

Employers may require an employee to wear protective gear which is necessary to perform the duties of the job. California employers are generally required to pay employees for the time it takes them to take off and put on this protective gear.

A California employer’s failure to pay wages for time spent “donning or doffing” protective gear may result in unpaid wages to which the employee is entitled.

A complex set of federal and state statutes govern payment of wages. Federal law sets the minimum standards for an employer, but state laws may create higher standards. Numerous exceptions exist which alter an employer’s duties for payment of wages. To navigate the complex statutes regarding payment of wages, an employee needs to speak to an experienced attorney who is familiar with the law in this area.
