Employer Travel Time Compensation

Summary

In Utah, employers are generally required to compensate employees for travel time that exceeds their normal commute under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state law. Since your regular commute is 15 minutes each way, your employer may need to pay for the additional 45 minutes each way to the training. Discuss this with your HR department first. If the issue remains unresolved, you can contact the Utah Labor Commission for further guidance.
