I just started with this company and they tell me I have to clock on and out on my company phone which also tracks me, and if I don't clock out 30 minutes a day, they deduct one hour from my pay.
My question is, is this legal?
I know on my log I have to show a 30 min break, but I was told an OTR DRIVER who is hourly doesn't have to.
Btw, it's a California company operating in Texas.
Do OTR drivers punch out for lunch?

Everyone is required to take a 30 within 8 hours of starting the work day. Doesn't matter the pay type.

Yes its legal. They employ you and are only asking for one simple step to be able to easily verify compliance with a Commiefornia law.
tscottme, CrappieJunkie and Lepton1 Thank this. -
That's odd I never heard of clocking out for lunch with an otr company but they all have there policies so I would clock out just to shut your company up.Also you don't want them to take any extra money out of your check do you?Highway_Executive and CrappieJunkie Thank this.

Another driver told me he doesn't clock out at all and they don't deduct anything from him.

Sounds like your company wants to make sure you take a 30 minute brk.CrappieJunkie and Lepton1 Thank this.

I doubt it's legal to deduct an hour pay for not following company policy but it's a good way to get fired.

wether paid hourly or not, California expects all non-exempt workers to be provided a minimum 30 minute lunch break. Since you are required to clock your time (for whatever reason) then those time records are subject to audit by state labor department to ensure employees aren't treated "unfairly"
