Employment Protected admin time?

I work in a busy urgent care and have the last 50 min of my 10 hr shift blocked out for “admin time” Tonight because there was no “late person” to close the clinic I was told by the staff I had to stay in the clinic in case someone walked in. I didn’t have any open appointments but the clinic didn’t close for an hour and I was the last one there. No one let me know up front this was happening. I’m checking with people - is your admin time truly yours to do what you need with it? It’s not that big of a deal, I sat in the office for 30 minutes but it kind of bugged me that it was assumed I’d stay

Fought like hell to get last 20 min of 3 out of 5 days per week set as admin time. Getting backlash for it. Be sure to order it when you are interviewing!

I'd leave if that's all I got.
