Can an employer request documented travel time to work? |
as a field inspector using a personal car and reimbursed for company mileage, does the employer have any precedent right to request and document what time the inspector leaves his house? any stops along the way prior to the start of the work day? whether reporting to the office or the field location? It is your car. You are only required to turn in a mileage log. The rest of the info. is an invasion of privacy. You bet they can. if you live in the united states your job is allowed to own you. they do have the rights to all that information if it is on their dime -- and usually when its not on their dime too. Yes he does, it's a real good idea to start keep track of all this. Get a little note book or something that you can enter the information. Not only does your employer have the right, it's an IRS regulation concerning mileage reimbursement. You are required to keep a log of your mileage with dates and times, and whether the mileage is personal or business. If they are paying for mileage i would say yes. They have to have proof yes? At least your mileage daily. I would take a look at the contract you signed when you were hired, but I don't think that info is really nessessary. I think that milage should be sufficiant. Unless you are getting paid hourly (not salary). If you are getting paid an hourly wage, than they do have a right to know what time you start (so they can start paying you!) |
