This also covers travel times for company sake. In this way, the time spent moving from your home to work and vice versa is exempted, as it is regarded as commuting to and from work, hence, there is no compensation. However, time taken for movement based on errands for the company should be rewarded monetarily.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Below are some of the instances where employers are faulted for not paying their employees for travel time:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3759\" title=\"Photo Credit: Shutterstock\/Syda Productions\" src=\"https:\/\/www.californialaborlaw.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Syda-Productions-1.jpg\" alt=\"Man and son working in a woodshop\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.california-labor-law-attorney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Syda-Productions-1.jpg 1176w, https:\/\/www.california-labor-law-attorney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Syda-Productions-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.california-labor-law-attorney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Syda-Productions-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.california-labor-law-attorney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Syda-Productions-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Assignment&nbsp;to make deposits at the bank as you leave work to go home.<\/li>\n<li>Collecting the mail on your way to your work place<\/li>\n<li>Demanding that an employee&#8217;s unpaid lunch time be used driving from place to place at work<\/li>\n<li>Demanding the presence of employees at the office before formal resumption at off-site locations and considering only time spent off site for their pay<\/li>\n<li>Having an employee pick up another to bring to work location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>While these points above are often noticed, the following also happen and are just as wrong:<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the case where employees have to drive around and work off site, sales representatives may have their locations varied from day to day.
