[CLC-Discussion] [CLC Discussion] - Traveling employees

[lan at lwwhiteattorney.com]

Do you mean their travel home is not compensated? I don't know of any
reason, off the top of my head, why the employer would have to do that. But
if they are being prevented from returning home by force or threat, it seems
to me they would be considered on the job and working, hence would have to
get paid (overtime?) for all the weekend hours. If they are not being
compensated, and are being prevented from using off duty time to go home, it
seems to me there might be a slight Constitutional issue, specifically the
13th amendment. I have this vague recollection reading that we did away with
slavery about 150 years ago.

Good afternoon everyone:

 

I have a new issue that I wanted to run by the group because I'm having
difficulty finding anything on point.  I have a contactor client who has
employees working on an out of state construction projects.  The employees
used to be permitted to come home every 3 weeks.  Now the employees are
being held on the job for 6 weeks and they are starting to complain.  There
are no issues about payment of wages.

 

I wanted to find out if anyone was aware of any federal law or standard
which governs when traveling employees must be allowed to travel home.

 

Please email me directly at lno at leonardoortizpa.com 

 

Regards,

Lenny
