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 13<sup>th</sup> amendment. I have this vague recollection reading that we did away with slavery about 150 years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#403152'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#5F497A'>Regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#5F497A'>Lan White<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#5F497A'>(727) 797-5599<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Copperplate Gothic Light","serif";color:#7030A0'> </span></b><b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Copperplate Gothic Light","serif";color:#7030A0'><img width=62 height=81 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image002.jpg@01CF8A50.B5D47450" alt="cid:part1.09030708.03060606@elliott-berger.com"> <img width=82 height=82 id="Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:image003.png@01CF8A50.B5D47450" alt="AAA 2014 logo print"></span></b><span style='color:#403152'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#403152'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> clc-discussion-bounces@lists.flabarrpptl.org [mailto:clc-discussion-bounces@lists.flabarrpptl.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Leonardo Ortiz<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, June 17, 2014 3:42 PM<br><b>To:</b> clc-discussion@lists.flabarrpptl.org<br><b>Subject:</b> [CLC-Discussion] [CLC Discussion] - Traveling employees<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Good afternoon everyone:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I have a new issue that I wanted to run by the group because I’m having difficulty finding anything on point.
