I work for a Non-Profit in North Carolina. I am an hourly paid employee with no benefits other than occasional overtime. This year we held an event that was out of town. I was required to drive 4.30 one way to work the event and the same time to drive back for a total of 9 hours spent traveling. My employer called me on my way home to tell me the office would be closed the next day and it was an mandatory non-paid day off. I had planned to work the next day and was shocked at the new information. When I returned to work I read in the policy that the day was in fact optional and I could have work but my employer refused to pay me for the day off...so I lost $120.00. The same day my employeer refused to pay me for the time spent on travel but stated he would reimburse mileage. He later came back and said since he was mistaken about the day off he would leave my time as it was and just call it an even wash. I disagreed because I still lost money.

Wrong forum. Please re-post to the correct forum.
BTW, your employer MUST pay you for travel time unless you are salaried. So if you spent 8 hours at the event, you are owed for 17 hours that day.
