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
