Supreme Court allows overtime pay claim where employer failed to designate a workplace, making travel time part of working hours.
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's decision to dismiss the plaintiff's claim for overtime pay and remanded the case for a new ruling. The lower courts had found that the employee's travel time between his home and various retail locations constituted working hours because the employer did not provide a fixed workplace. The court upheld this finding, rejecting the employer's argument that the employee voluntarily organized his schedule, and determined that the statutory definition of working time included these travel periods.
