The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether travel time to a secondary work site counts as working time. The plaintiff argued that travel from the home depot to the work station was work time, while the defendant contended it was merely travel time under a fixed schedule system. The court ruled that travel is work time only if the employee is obligated to report to the home depot before departing; otherwise, it is simply travel to work.
