Any time spent actually working may be counted as work time.
State Compensatory Time and Travel (For Exempt Employees Only)
- Exempt employees can earn a limited amount of state compensatory time, not to exceed two hours, for the time spent traveling to and from the business destination.
- If an exempt employee travels during their regular shift time, they can count the time spent traveling as work time. Anytime traveling outside of their shift time is not considered work time.
Overtime and Travel (For Non-Exempt Employees)
- If a non-exempt employee travels during their shift time, regardless of the day of the week, they may count it as work time.
- If a non-exempt employee travels outside of their regular shift time, they cannot count it as work time, unless they are driving a car (not riding as a passenger).
- Part-time, non-exempt employees are paid at their regular hourly rate for time worked over their appointed hours but less than 40 hours.
Any employee attending a non-required “after hour” or social event at a conference may not count that time as work time.
