Most major companies actually do have rules against working off the clock. It's to prevent employees trying to stir up problems with an employer. "I should get paid for working then! It doesn't matter if I was off the clock BRB GETTING LAWYER!!"

Sound ridiculous, but I have worked for companies were supervisors freaked out if they saw me casually picking trash off the floor to throw it away off the clock. They were seriously worried I would try to fight for unpaid time since I "worked."

So that's another long winded advice-rant I threw at you two days in a row now. Sorry about that!
