That is a recording of my assistant manager Kevin Sutherland and my manager
Kevin Huang (the oriental guy in the recording) in Mapleview Mall
Radioshack, Burlington Ontario Canada (905-681-7353 is their phone number,
verify the voice if you like).
There are no conditions under which it is appropriate to demand free
off-the-clock labor.

You may also contact him directly at (905) 541 0833
Furthermore you may contact head office at (705) 728 7474
Or email them at answers@radioshack.ca

Making people work for free is the same as stealing, and it is also fraud
since hours have to be incorrectly reported. Let these people know how
criminal their activities are.

It is sad but more and more businesses are doing this.

Well, I'm not sure about Canada, but if you are working in the US then you
get paid, it's that simple. You can not be forced to work off the clock
unless you are on Salary, in which case it would not matter. The best thing
to do would be to guesstimate on what time you will be leaving and let it go
at that. From what I heard, apparently Radio Shack has a very different way
of recording time. Most businesses do not transmit payroll until the first
day of the next week( typically Sunday ). So when you clock out each day,
it will be added up when payroll is done and then that is that. Radio Shack
can get into big trouble over this and you could get into even more trouble
for making the recording that you did.

Well,

I believe I actually read somewhere that if it can be done in China then
why not here??

Yeah, Radioshack should ask Walmart about trying to make people work
off the clock. Walmart found it it gets you in trouble.
