Hi Everyone!
I am in staffing and have a client company who asks our employee (non-exempt) to drive from his house to point A to meet up with the foreman in a company vehicle and then continues on to the job site which may be up to 2 hours away (point B). (My understanding is that there is no loading/unloading of product at point A, they are just carpooling. Sometimes point A is at the company shop, but it is sometimes at the foremans house as well.) The employee is not currently getting travel time pay until he reaches point B.
My thought was that travel time ought to be paid during the time traveling from point A to point B. Is that correct or would that still count as their normal commute time?
I looked up CFR 785.38 (Travel that is all in a days work) already, but am just not sure if meeting up to carpool with the manager would turn this situation into compensable time.
Appreciate the help as always! I hope you are all doing well.
