I live in NH. My job consists of alot of traveling at times. My employer pays us 5.00 an hour ( not even minimum wage) up to 4 hours a day for travel time. He pays us our regular rate of pay for every hour of travel after that. Welding is my primary job.
We drive his company trucks and pull a trailer full of supplies each time.
Here is my question...
Last week I worked 60 hours. Traveltime was 20 hours (4 hours each day) Then working hours were 40. So of course I get no overtime pay for all those hours and get paid only 100.00 for 20 hours of driving to and from jobs.
Can this happen? Shouldn't he pay us time and a half after 40 hours whether its driving or not?
All the welding equipment and supplies are on his trucks and so we are required to drive them from job to job. But for 5.00 an hour? And no overtime unless hours are actually worked?
I'd appreciate any help with this.
Thank you,SpJr99
