More details to this question:
I work for a company where we are required to drive from jobsite to jobsite. We only get paid for "in home" time, not for the time to travel from house to house. Sometimes the travel adds up to 1-3 hours per day that we are not getting paid for. Is it legal for employers to do this?

The wage rules for travelling workers are very fact specific. I can say generally that the answer to your question probably depends on whether you are properly classified as an "employee" or an "independent contractor." Don't rely on how the company classifies you. Companies will often classify workers as independent contractors when, in fact, the law would classify them as employees. This is very common. You should contact an employment attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation to get a more definitive answer. Feel free to contact me.
