The Supreme Court of the United States has issued a unanimous decision that security screenings after the work day, regardless of the amount of time they take to perform, do not qualify for remuneration. The decision focuses on the Portal-To-Portal Act of 1947 which defines a workday that specifically excludes those activities "incidental" to an employee's primary responsibilities.

    The company provides a number of 2.5m^2 dwellings in the basement for your convenience. If you do not wish to rent said dwelling, the travel times to your dwelling of choice are clearly your own voluntary expenditure.

      Bargain price, only 60% of your salary. Sign here quick, I have four more people coming to take a look at it this afternoon.

      Thank you, a pleasure doing business with you. Oh, and did I mention that there are showers and toilets available behind the boiler for only an additional 30% of your salary? Plus there's the cafeteria meal plan available for the bargain price of 40% of your salary. Do enjoy, you're going to be working here for a long, long time...
