Why the distinction matters:
ordinary home-to-work and work-to-home commuting is generally
treated differently under federal wage rules from travel occurring
after required work has begun or travel between job sites.
This calculator is an educational recordkeeping aid, not a legal
determination. Whether particular travel is compensable can depend
on the actual facts, applicable federal and state law, employment
agreements, and what duties the employer requires.
