The Ohio workers’ compensation attorneys can determine whether you’re owed for donning & doffing

Should you be compensated for the time you spent donning and doffing protective gear?

"Donning" and "doffing" refers to the process of changing into and out of required protective clothing and gear for a job. An employer must compensate employees for time spent donning and doffing protective gear, but unfortunately, some dishonest employers treat this time as if the employee is off the clock.

There are federal and state regulating donning and doffing and how much compensation a worker is entitled to. If you or someone you know is concerned about his or her rights as they apply to donning and doffing, the employment law attorneys at Elk & Elk are here to help. After nearly five decades representing the victims of unfair labor practices, we have the knowledge, expertise and resources to successfully pursue even the most complicated employment claims.

Even though the donning and doffing time may be only a few minutes per employee, the Ohio employment law attorneys at Elk & Elk know that the prospective economic impact can be considerable when these minutes are added up among numerous employees over a span of several months and years. Employers must keep in mind that even minor violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) can result in significant damages in the aggregate.
