      I think you’re agreeing with me.

      I’m saying it’s illegal to deny them their pay because they were required to be at work. “Engaged to wait” basically means “Having nothing to do, but still on the clock.”

      If they showed up to work 20 minutes early to play cards or we’re playing cards during their lunch break, then they’d be “waiting to be engaged” which wouldn’t require payment because they’re free to leave.

        Yeah, I don’t think I was disagreeing, I only wasn’t sure what you meant but I think I get it now.
