Not sure if anyone here has come across this. I travel for work as a non-exempt employee. Normally Travel has to be compensatable when it is required as part of the job during normal work hours (I.e. 9-5). According to the DOL, if travel is outside of normal work hours, your company is not required to consider them compensatable work hours.

What I can***8217;t find addressed is this:
When I travel to a customers site, all of my travel time is billable by the hour. My company earns $110/hr when I***8217;m traveling regardless of the time of day. The fact that my traveling is earning them money to me, means that my travel is actually work and I should be compensated for it. However, I can***8217;t find this fairly common situation discussed anywhere.

Anyone have knowledge to put inside me?

Are traveling from office/shop to a customer or from home?

In general if you are going from work to a client you should be getting paid.

Similar, this is a part two. Other thread was exempt vs non-exempt. I successfully convinced owner that he was misclassifying everyone as salary exempt. Now everyone is non-exempt and are now eligible for OT.


He wants me full time, so this is all part of negotiation.

Wish I could help, but all I can offer is the obvious: if they're charging you out you should be able to claim those hours.

If it's part of your negotiation tell him you want to be paid regardless of what the dept.of labour says.

We use to send techs all over the world and they were always paid for every minute of travel time. I don't know of any normal thinking person that would want to spend 24 hours on a plane to Australia and not get paid. As a matter of fact I don't know any company here in Calgary that doesn't pay for hourly paid staff travel. Salaried employees were different...we reimbursed travel expenses but no wages.

You should always receive a portion of your billable hours.

I consulted for a company recently that wanted me to do a project for a sister company, 5,000 miles away. ****ing 12-hour flight, with a three hour layover. They didn't want to pay for travel and I wouldn't do it. We ended up agreeing on$2k for airtime, which I slept most of that time anyway.

If I was the company, I would charge the customer a logistics fee for the travel/prep time. The EE would not start their timer until clocking in to the job task once they had arrived at the site.
