A. Home-to-Work Travel. Home-to-work travel is not compensable because an employee is not at work until the employee reaches the work site.

B. Travel in the Same Day. Employees who travel from and return to the work site in one day will be paid for all travel time in addition to any work time, with the exception of meal periods. If employees work and travel less than eight hours in one day, they will be paid for actual work and travel time only.

C. Out-of-Town Travel. Employees who travel out of town overnight will be paid for time spent traveling (except for meal periods) during their normal working hours on their nonworking days, such as Saturday, Sunday and holidays, as well as on their regular working days. During these days, normal working hours will be 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Time spent traveling as a passenger outside of normal working hours is not considered work time. The department head may schedule an employee returning from overnight travel status to work a regularly scheduled work shift within the same day. An employee returning from travel who is not scheduled to work a regularly scheduled shift on the same day will be paid for travel time and any out-of-town time only on that day.

D. General Policies.

1. Overtime will be paid as required by code and applicable law.

2. The day following a travel day is a separate work day. An employee may be scheduled to work a regular shift any time after midnight of the day following a travel day; provided, that the work shift begins more than eight hours after the employee’s return from travel status.

3. These travel pay requirements do not apply to salaried employees. Salaried employees will not be paid for travel time in addition to their base salary. (Ord. 15-07-417 § 4)
