Spectrum reviews

Management is completely unfamiliar with the federal laws on wages and reporting. It seems like they lack knowledge of the fair labor standards act (FLSA) which is extremely important in their roles to a non-exempt hourly workforce. This has been an ongoing issue for years and an increase in violations in the more recent year with changes to management. The non-exempt hourly team is continually asked to perform work off the clock including but not limited to signing into the work phone and laptop hours before their shift to determine their route for the day which can easily take 20-30 minutes. Under FLSA that would be compensable time. They have also told the team that work meetings/training are to be considered their lunch breaks on multiple occasions regardless of the fact that not everyone can eat the limited food selections and that they are technically working and on the clock. These practices are what causes low moral and negative culture at Spectrum. Considering the leadership continues to ask employees to work without pay which is completely unacceptable and has already been brought to executive leadership via anonymous emails over two months ago now with little to no resolution to this matter.
