Home to Work on a Special One Day Assignment in Another City

If you regularly work at a fixed location in one city and you are given a special one day assignment in another city, but return home the same day, the time spent in traveling to and returning from the other city is work time, except that the Company may deduct/not count that time you would normally spend commuting to the regular work site.

Travel That Is All in a Day's Work

Your time spent in travel as part of your principal activity, such as travel from job site to job site during the workday, is work time and must be counted as hours worked.

Travel Away from Home Community

Travel that keeps you away from home overnight is travel away from home. Travel away from home is clearly work time when it cuts across your workday. The time is not only hours worked on regular working days during normal working hours but also during corresponding hours on nonworking days. The Company will not consider as work time that time spent in travel away from home outside of your regular working hours as a passenger on an airplane, train, boat, bus, or automobile.

Work Performed While Traveling

Any work you perform while traveling must be counted as hours worked.

Calculating and Reporting Travel Time

You are responsible for accurately tracking, calculating, and reporting your travel time. Travel time should be calculated by rounding up to the nearest quarter hour. Overtime If you are nonexempt, you may qualify for overtime pay. All overtime must be approved in advance, in writing, by your manager. At certain times CREA, LLC may require you to work overtime. We will attempt to give as much notice as possible in this instance. However, advance notice may not always be possible. Failure to work overtime when requested or working unauthorized overtime may result in discipline, up to and including discharge. Unless otherwise required or exempted by law, overtime pay of one and one-half times your regular rate of pay is paid for any hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a workweek. Holidays, PTO, and VTO hours do not count as time worked for computing overtime. Accommodations for Nursing Mothers CREA, LLC will provide nursing mothers reasonable break time to express milk for their infant child for up to one year following the child's birth. If you are nursing, you will be provided with a space, other than a restroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public. Expressed milk can be stored in company refrigerators, refrigerators provided in the lactation room or other location. Sufficiently mark or label your milk to avoid confusion for other employees who may share the refrigerator. You may also bring a personal cooler for storage. Break time should, if possible, be taken concurrently with any other break time already provided. If you are nonexempt, record the start and end time for any time taken that does not run concurrently with normally scheduled rest periods. Break time may be unpaid where permissible by applicable law.

You must make reasonable efforts to not disrupt Company operations.

You are encouraged to discuss the length and frequency of these breaks with your manager.
