<prompt> Human: Hello rpersonalfinance,I work for a company that sells souvenir-items; bags, keychains, koozies, etc... The company is based out of Austin, TX. I recently moved into the companys Sales position, but was not switched from an hourly-employee to a salaried-employee. To clarify, I am still an hourly-employee. In the position, I am required to travel to various states for Souvenir Conventions. My boss has never paid for the time I spent traveling. I typically travel on the weekend, which is my day off and a day in which I would not get paid anyway... However, I recently traveled on a weekday... a day when I typically work and do get paid. My boss informed me that he does not pay for travel-time. Traveling for this company during a Friday has prevented me from making what I normally should have made. I have attempted to search for answers online and there seems to be a lot of grey-area regarding if I should or shouldnt get paid. I am told something different by almost everyone I have talked to. I know, in many ways, I am getting screwed. Unaware, though, if it is lawful or not! I was hoping if someone here could help me smooth things out? It would be greatly appreciated!  <response>: This fact sheet from the DOL is about as definitive as you can get.You should be getting paid for weekday AND weekend travel that falls inside your regular work hours, even if you wouldnt typically work that day.
