D"Work time" under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) generally includes all the time an employee is required to be on the employer's premises, on duty, or at a prescribed workplace. Testifying in court (A) and attending mandatory training sessions (B) are considered work time because they are activities the employer requires and benefit the employer. Preparing for work (C), depending on the context, might not be considered work time if it involves general preparation for work, like choosing what to wear, unless the preparation is integral and indispensable to the principal activities. Hours an employee is required to wear a pager (D) are not automatically considered work time unless the employee is required to stay on the employer's premises or is significantly restricted in their ability to use the time effectively for their own purposes.
