Commute Time & Travel Time: When Might It Be Necessary for You to Compensate for A Non-Exempt Employee for Commute or Travel Time?
Avoid risk and liability with these considerations to pay for time appropriately…
- Travel or commute beyond the employee’s normal commute, such as a special errand
at the employer’s request - Employee to report to a distant worksite, different from the regular work site
- The employee is expected to use their personal vehicle to perform duties during the workday
- In the event that air travel is required
- When employee attendance is required, you must pay for their attendance (i.e. conference, seminar, training, etc.)
It is important to abide by your industry’s Wage Order.
