Home Depot is changing its hourly pay policy after several pay-related lawsuits.

Home Depot Announces Hourly Pay Policy Change

Home Depot changing up how it's gonna pay some employees. After several pay related lawsuits, the company will adjust how it calculates the total number of hours worked by hourly employees. This stock is up fractionally and the retailer currently rounding it shift times to the nearest 15 minutes. That's a policy outlined in the Fair labor Standards act well. Under this updated policy, Home Depot will instead round to the nearest minute and employees punch in and out and multiple lawsuits over the past few years accusing Home Depot of purposely rounding down. So as a result, that would be paying employees less money. These changes will go into effect on monday, so some good news on the way.
