What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MA
I am looking for some advise. I am traveling to work in Arizona from Massachusetts. I will be flying in on a Friday and working for a few days. Then I will have several week days off that I would normally be working. Then I will work for about 10 days and fly home. I am getting paid to travel, I will be receiving a per diem for each day I am there but have been told that I will not be paid for the week days I would normally be working. A HR friend of mine told me that this was not normal, since I am traveling and can not easily return home I am essentially waiting for my employer regardless of what I am doing. I have tried researching the forum and internet but have not had much luck so far. Thanks for any help in advance.
