"portal to portal pay"
Absolutely correct, shop to job to shop, and anything in between. not from house to job, thats a commute.
once on the first job (or shop),if they send you somewhere else, your on their nickle.
"Section 4 of the Portal Act, which relates to so-called ``portal-to-
portal'' activities engaged in by employees on or after May 14, 1947,
provides as follows:
(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), no employer shall be
subject to any liability or punishment under the Fair Labor Standards
Act of 1938, as amended, * * * on account of the failure of such
employer to pay an employee minimum wages, or to pay an employee
overtime compensation, for or on account of any of the following
activities of such employee engaged in on or after the date of the
enactment of this Act:
(1) Walking, riding, or traveling to and from the actual place of
performance of the principal activity or activities which such employee
is employed to perform, and
(2) Activities which are preliminary to or postliminary to said
principal activity or activities
which occur either prior to the time on any particular workday at which
such employee commences, or subsequent to the time on any particular
workday at which he ceases, such principal activity or activities."
Before and after work your on your own.
Arriving at the shop IS a PRINCIPAL activity.
