Thanks engrpat. George Costanza provided a chair for the security guard, look how well that worked out.

for failing to provide "suitable seating" for cashiers and other employees who are expected to spend most of their workday on their feet

Someone's missing the obvious -- if they spend most of their workday on their feet, and the employer requires them to wear shoes, the employer should be providing the shoes, too. And since they're required to be to work on time, they should have their transportation to and from work paid for. Oh, and they have to eat lunch during a day shift, that should also be provided...

Don’t forget the clocks. If they have to be there at a certain time the employer should provide clocks.

As for those who say employees shouldn’t have to stand for 8 hours, try a little factory work. We used to get a 10 minute break every two hours. Plus 30 minutes for lunch.

I think this law is going to require that checkers have a stool to sit on when there’s no one in line. Don’t agree. They could be doing something else if they’re not on break.
