Re: driving pay

You asked about pay for driving time.

I would like to speak with you about this further. Normally I would provide an answer, but your question suggests that this matter may have more potential than just the specific question infers.

Regards,

Roger

Re: driving pay

Your question, it appears, falls under the FLSA, as an overtime issue. Generally, the FLSA provides that people are entitled to overtime, unless they fall into one of the enumerated exemptions. Please feel free to e-mail or call me directly. My e-mail address is [email protected]
