The Fair Labor Standards Act and state wage and hour laws require employers to include all hours worked when computing overtime compensation. Employees’ total hours include all time spent doing work for employers, including time spent traveling on behalf of employers. The computations can be complex and confusing, even for experienced payroll professionals.

Different rules apply for commuting, traveling away from employees’ tax homes, and local travel between work locations. Rules also vary based on whether employees are driving company or personal vehicles, traveling via public transportation, or whether they are exempt or non-exempt workers. In addition, some states have enacted travel pay rules that differ from federal guidelines.

Join Patrick Haggerty, CPA, CMA, and EA, as he discusses:
•When travel time is considered hours worked and when it does not have to be counted
•How to distinguish between non-compensable commuting and compensable local travel
•Which expense reimbursements must be included in the regular rate of pay
•How to reconcile differences in state and federal rules
•How to determine when an employee is away from home for travel expense purposes
•How to assure per diem reimbursement compliance
•How the rules differ for exempt and non-exempt employees
