The relationship between overtime pay laws and donning and doffing has always been a contentious one, according to an article on the Lawyers and Settlements website.
The argument is that if an employer requires special equipment necessary for the job, then the respective dressing and undressing out of mandated clothing and equipment should be compensable.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) carries provisions for donning and doffing with rare exceptions, depending upon the case involved.
However, could potential changes to how hospitals manage serious infections remove donning and doffing as an issue for healthcare workers?
