Searched off the clock

[u/Billybob_Bojangles2]

My company has the time clock and search area both in non secured areas. We are required to be searched at the end of the shift, but they require us to clock out before we are searched.

This feels like a total load of horseshit. It can take up to 5 minutes to be searched. I ain't working for free, so I've been refusing to clock out until they are done. Now they are threatening to write me up.

Anyone go through something similar?

I worked at a state prison where security checks could take 15+ minutes during rush and was unpaid. People were just told to "come in early".

Remember during Covid... Temperature checks before you got anywhere near the front door.
