He would not get paid for his commute from his home to his first work location, whether that is the shop or directly to the first off-site work location. He would also not be paid for his return from the last work location to his home. But he should be paid for interim travel. So: boyfriend drives 30 minutes from home to shop, including any stops--no pay. He then drives from shop to a work location for 45 minutes--he should be paid. If he drives 45 minutes back to shop or wherever he leaves the van at the end of the day, not paid for that. But he then drives 30 minutes from that place home--that is payable. Commutes to/from work, not payable; travel during the work day (in between the commuting), payable.
