This is one of the most complex issues in wage and hour law, but to oversimplify:Time spent actually working or at employer-mandated training is work time: it must be paid and counts towards overtime.Travel during the employee's normal work hours (e.g. M-F, 9-5) is work time and must be paid and counted for overtime. Time spent traveling outside normal hours is not work time."Working" meals--e.g. meals at which there are meetings, networking, etc. going on--is work time; nonworking meals are not.The employee would get overtime when the sum of work time, mandatory training time, travel during work hours, and working meals exceeds 40 hours in a week.
