Can employees “volunteer” to work off-the-clock performing services in the employers employee-assistance center?
No, where the employees’ time benefits the employer. For example, where the employer sets up a hotline or other arrangements to assist Company employees with job-related benefits or information, employees volunteering to perform such services are engaged in “hours worked” for FLSA purposes because the work involved in providing those services benefits the employer.
