I work out of Los Angeles, but my company has been sending me to Boston for the past few weeks. Of course I get paid for my normal working hours, and have so much money provided for meals and expenses, but what about the time it takes me to get to the airport, the flight, and onto the hotel? And what about the week-ends I am stuck here. I was told no work no pay, same as if I were at home, but I'm not at home where I can take care of my things. I leave again this Friday evening after putting in a 10 -12 hour work day. Then there is 2 hours at the airport, a 6+ hour flight, and 1 1/2 drive home. I am an hourly employee. Am I just expected to do this for free, or is there some law out there to insure I get paid for my time??
