Generally, an employer is not required to pay an employee for travel time to and from work. However, travel time may compensable under certain circumstances, such as if the employee is traveling pursuant to the employer's instructions.
Federal and California laws differ on when travel time is compensable, and entitlement to wages for travel time is often fact-specific.
