Legal Question in Employment Law in Connecticut
I work as a field service engineer for a nationwide company. I work from home, where I operate a company vehicle to go on calls to customers offices.
The company I work for wants to start a policy where we have to begin 30 minutes before our salaried shift begins for no pay, the rationale being if we worked for a "regular" company we would have to commute to the office on our time. We get overtime pay after 8 work hours in a normal day, so is this legal for them to do? I believe that if I am in a company vehicle that I'm responsible for, I'm working for that company.

I need more information to answer this questions. These laws are very complex. It depends on whether or not you are doing work at home before you get on the road.
