Re: prevailing wage labor law
Federal Regulations (Section 29 CFR 785.38) specifically state that time spent by an employee in travel as part of his principal activity, such as travel from job site to job site during the workday, must be counted as hours worked. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) provides federal protection for employees in these situations.
