- Assume non-exemptActual time = donning and doffing and travel time is trickyBreaks and meals less than 15 minutes compensated; fully relieved to be uncompensatedIC = 21 part IRS standards
- Aggressive = 100+ inspectors, more citations, increased penalties, more criminal, *no budget for mock inspections – only enforcementThose targeted based on injury/illness last yearRegulation by Shaming = press releases (always quote by OSHA top guy to embarrass company), twitter, etc.
