In a recent California case, Donohue v. AMN Servs., the plaintiff sued her employer, a staffing company, for unpaid wages. AMN Servs. used a computer-based timekeeping system, which would round the employee’s punch-in and punch-out time to the nearest ten-minute increment. The California Court of Appeal held that, under California law, an employer could round an employees wages so long as it was “fair and neutral on its face.” To be considered fair, the rounding policy would have to “favor neither overpayment nor underpayment” of the employee.
