Q: Does my employer have to pay for travel to other offices?
I work in the same office/location everyday and at sporadic times, my employer will assign me to work at another office in the city. My employer at one time paid for travel when assigned to work at other locations when needed. We were instructed that travel time. to and from the assigned office, were compensable. Now, under new management, they say they will not pay for travel but hove not provided an answer when I asked 'Why not?' other than, 'this decision was made at the executive level'. Iv'e reached out to Payroll, Talent management and HR for answers but its been several weeks now and still no response ,other than the one mentioned above. My DM removed time from my payroll without my knowledge. When I informed HR about this, they stated that they will replace those hours as a one time 'courtesy'. HR instructed me to no longer claim travel time on my timesheet. Meanwhile I'm still being assigned to work at other locations/offices but wonder if I'm missing out on compensation.
