“Employers must record and pay for all hours of work,” said Daniel Pasquil, director of the Wage and Hour Division’s West Covina District Office. “This includes travel time between work sites. We urge all employers to review their pay practices to ensure compliance.”
Investigators established that GM Sager Construction Inc. failed to pay 26 employees for their travel time between the last job site to the company’s yard at the end of each day and for work once employees returned to the yard. The employer failed to record and count this time as hours worked.
