Mandatory security check followed by a long travel to area of work. When do you clock in? (lemmy.world)

I'm in a situation with my manager who is suggesting that clock-in starts when the employee arrives to the site of work. Effectively saying that everyone should be coming in 15 minutes earlier than their start time.

The majority of what I read online was about security checks when leaving the premises instead of entering. And the results of a couple class actions seem like the law has loose interpretation.

Wondering what your experiences have been like dealing with this situation. Are you paid for your time traveling on company premises?

For ref this takes place in California.

You just reminded me of my first job (call center)

My shift officially started when I logged in and set my terminal to "available"

Problem was that the parking lot was very small so sometimes I had to wait for someone to leave to be able to park, then try to find an open computer close to my area and then sometimes said computer took a long time to log off/on so by the time I could set my terminal I was already "late"

My first manager was great and I would send him an SMS as soon as I walked to the building and he would override the system if I logged in late, but my second manager told me to arrive half an hour early to avoid any issues. I quit that job shortly after that
