WASHINGTON D.C — Usually, time spent commuting is not work time and your employer does not have to pay for the time it takes for you to commute to and from work. Companies may violate the FLSA by not paying its employees for all hours worked in a workweek. This may occur if you are assigned a work duty on the way to or from work like dropping of mail, making deposits or other tasks to and from work.
Under certain circumstances, you may be entitled to being paid for commute time. Additionally, some states may have their own overtime pay laws that may be slightly different from the FLSA with respect to overtime pay for commute time. An experienced overtime pay attorney can determine whether you are entitled to overtime wages based upon your job description, job duties, rate of pay, and number of hours worked. There are strict time deadlines for filing lawsuits so it is essential that you contact an attorney immediately.
