How is travel time treated when employees travel outside their normal schedule on a scheduled workday?

Employees who travel to and from meetings considered a work assignment on a scheduled workday will receive compensatory time or cash (based on exempt or non-exempt status) equal to 100% of the time traveled outside the regular workday, minus the actual time normally required to travel from the workstation to the employee’s home.

Documentation of home-to-work travel time is required before compensatory time is awarded.

This policy applies to all employees eligible to receive cash or accrue compensatory time under policy or law.
