Do you work 24-hour shifts, live at your job site, or remain on your employer’s or client’s premises or job site during your shift or hitch? Does your employer deduct sleep time from your pay?

Federal regulations require your employer to provide you with regularly scheduled sleep periods at a fixed time in order to deduct those periods from your pay. Sleeping whenever is possible or as work allows is not sufficient. If you and your employer have not agreed to a fixed schedule for sleep periods at the same time every day, you may be entitled to compensation for any sleep periods that have been deducted from your pay.
