Travel Time Pay Some nonexempt positions within CREA, LLC require travel. The Company pays nonexempt employees for travel time as follows:
Home to Work Travel
Ordinary travel between home and work is not compensable working time. However, if you regularly work at a fixed location and are required, for the convenience of the Company, to report to a location other than your regular work site, you will be compensated for all travel time in excess of your ordinary travel time between home and work with allowance for associated transportation expenses.
Travel That Is All in a Day's Work
If you are required or directed to travel from one place to another after the beginning of or before the close of the work day, you will be compensated for all travel time and will be reimbursed for all transportation expenses.
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.
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 nursing child. If you are nursing, the Company will provide you a private room or location, other than a restroom, to express milk. The room or location will be 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. The break time must, if possible, run concurrently with any break time already provided to you. 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 as permissible under applicable law.
You are encouraged to discuss the length and frequency of these breaks with your manager.
