Legal Weirdness at Work: No. 9: THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT WORK
The U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas ruled that Jerry Ormsby's habit of sleeping on the job - even if he was prohibited from leaving the site - did not qualify as work for purposes of overtime pay. The court found that COF Training Services Inc., a halfway house in Osage City, Kan., had no obligation to compensate Ormsby for the "sleep time" when he was performing no routine duties. Gosh, whatever happened to an hour's sleep for an hour's pay?
