return2ozmaBosses and workers still can’t agree on whether the commute is part of the work day, and it’s creating a $578 billion productivity problem
TexMexBazookaIt’s easy:
Are you requesting I as a worker dedicate any part of my time, and/or usage of my personal resources to accomplish something for YOUR business? Yes it’s part of the work day.
Also, half the time, I’m literally taking work meetings during my commute because I’m both required to physically be in the office and also start taking meetings before I can even get to work.
I think that’s illegal if they aren’t paying you for that time.
When meetings are scheduled while I’m on my way home (I work 07:00 to 15:00 so it happens regularly), I fill my timesheet to show that as work time. I’m happy to argue if I ever get called on it
I have participated in meetings on the bus, in my car, on my bicycle, and while at the hair dresser, all that was work time
