875—9.21(88) Walkaround pay disputes. An employer’s failure to pay employees for time during which they are engaged in walkaround inspections, or in other inspection-related activities, such as responding to questions of compliance officers, or participating in the opening and closing conferences, is discriminatory under Iowa Code section 88.9(3) so long as neither the number of employees participating nor the time required to express employee concerns is excessive. An authorized employee representative shall be given the opportunity to accompany on the physical inspection pursuant to Iowa Code section 88.6(4) and rule 875—3.6(88).
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 88.9(3).
