2014 - Employee Travel Pay - Right Handling

Instructor: Vicki M. Lambert
Description:
This webinar concentrates on the requirements under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of when to pay employees for traveling, how to handle travel pay rightly.
The webinar will talk about when traveling is considered hours worked and when is it not. It will discuss how to determine if an employee is called out on an "emergency" and thus must be paid for traveling a considerable distance or when advance notice has been given and is not required being included in hours worked. It will cover if traveling outside of the employee's normal work hours constitutes hours worked or not. What if the employee travels overnight or all in a day's work-which one must be paid for and why? And it will discuss the various state requirements when they differ from the federal.
But the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) takes a great interest when employees are reimbursed for travel pay as well. Direct reimbursement of business expenses is generally not considered as wage but what about repayment for travel such as mileage, hotels, etc.? And how must auto allowances be handled to ensure compliance with IRS regulations? Both of these topics will be discussed in this webinar.
