Legal Question in Employment Law in Maryland

Various lawsuits have been filed on similar fact scenarios. While an employer can legally require employees to take breaks, if the employer forces employees to work while "clocked out," that usually violates the law. What amounts to forced work on breaks is often disputed. "Deleting" work days also is very problematic. In some cases time can be legally altered (if the employee left early and forgot to clock out for instance) but the law requires that hourly employees be paid for all time worked.

I encourage you to seek legal advice as soon as possible. You are welcome to contact my law firm at 410-216-7000 for a no cost phone consult of up to 10 min. or contact another Maryland barred attorney of your choosing. You may also have rights to file a claim for government investigation / action. Because you may loose valuable legal rights with the passage of time, it is best to seek legal advice sooner rather than later.
