Travel time pay

Is a cleaning company required to pay travel pay if you have to travel to different buildings in the same day to clean them? We start at 5:00pm at the office, we leave there and go to the first acount it takes about 2hours, then to the next one for about 2.5hours, then to the next one which takes 3 to 4 hours then to the next one which takes 3 to 4 hours. then we are done. Included ia about 2 to 3 hours of travel between acounts. Should I get paid for this time?

On the facts given I cannot say for sure that you should be paid for your travel time.

I believe you need to talk this question over in detail with an attorney.
