Legal Question in Employment Law in California

paid travel time to job site

I have painter employees who are required to driver their vehicles to our office complex, pick up a work truck and go to job site. They must return the truck after their eight hours are up to the office complex. Do I need to pay them for travel time?

You need to pay them for travel between the office and their job assignments but not to and from home.
