It’s piece work.  After deductions from room, board, and transportation, they owe the boss money.  It’s not that they “can’t” leave,  . . .

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<mailto:lno at leonardoortizpa.com>

Regards,
Lenny
