I wonder if there is any limit at all. What if the screenings were 3 hours long before and after each employee’s shift? Would the company still be allowed to not pay them during this time? Seems this is pretty abusable. How long is too long [EDIT: according to the law] to force someone to work without paying?

0.00hr. You should always be paid for your time unless that person agrees to volunteer it.

...yes, but there is an implicit "If 25 minutes is okay" before that question. The comment is poking at the current law's logic.

Employees should always be paid for their time, regardless of volunteering, or it allows employers to negatively evaluate and find parallel reasons to fire employees who don't 'choose to volunteer' as a method of institutionalized wage theft
