Hi, first time poster on this bulletin board. I inadvertantly jumped on the end of a year-old thread and someone suggested I start a new one.
Does anyone have written, or generally accepted, policies regarding paid time while away from the office at work-related meetings for example? The meeting in question would entail an overnight stay the night of or the night before and travel in excess of 4 hours. My employer will pay travel, but only time actually agendized for the meeting and deducts lunch time. As a former manager, I was pretty liberal about employee time away from the office since they were representing my company and everybody I ask do not agree with the policy where I work now. However, I have been unable to come up with anyone else's policy to use as a lever to change ours. I am salaried non-exempt. Anybody?
