Do you know if one is covered under Worker's Compensation while traveling directly from home to work and back again? This is not paid time, nor does the employer give reimbursement for mileage.

Technically, it varies state to state. I've never seen a state cover you during COMMUTING. In some states, once you're parked in the parking lot and out of your car, depending on the type of accident, there MIGHT be coverage on your way into the building. But it's going to vary.

No, traveling to and from work is usually not considered to be within the "course and scope of employment" so, if you were to get into an accident at that time, you would not be covered under workers' compensation (and if you were sued as a result of the accident, your employer would not defend you).
