My job is asking me that i need to go to a mandatory meeting 50miles from my house and i wont get paid for?

Question

going on my day off, is this ok?

Answer 1

Note your mileage, you can deduct this on your taxes next year as an "unreinbursed business expense" along with the meal that you have on the road. I'll bet that there is no lunch provided.

Find out how many more of these are scheduled, that you'll need to attend. If there is another in this year, you need to find a new job. This is a cheapskate operation that is trying to take advantage of you. If your job is requiring you to travel and work, and you are not salaried, you should be paid overtime.
