[url]http://www.dol.gov/elaws/esa/flsa/hoursworked/screenER5.asp[/url] When it comes down to time working, the only thing I worry about is the time I punch in and the time I punch out at the end of the day - and getting paid for it. Beyond that, it's work as directed. If something comes up or an issue arises, you're supposed to work through the problem and grieve it afterwords. However, if it is a genuine health or safety concern, you can refuse to work. But, don't be surprised if they move you into another area and stick some poor soul into that dangerous situation.
