Mandatory Meeting, 5 Hours One Way…
Location: physical location is Oklahoma(Primary Work Area) > Texas(Meeting Location); Company Headquartered in California.
My company is attempting to compel a mandatory meeting in a city that, given a one way drive time is about 5 hours from my area (280 miles one way). They expect me to drive from roughly 4am, sit in the meeting, and drive back putting me home around 6-7pm.
A group of us DID finally convince for a block of hotel rooms out of the company and that wasn’t easy… but they are expecting us to make either the drive there or the drive back unpaid in our personal vehicles. They are not providing gas nor mileage reimbursement the only allotted pay would be hourly wage one direction and during the meeting. (Obviously this clarifies I’m Hourly, non-exempt).
I do not feel I should be forced to put 5 hours on my car both in gas and wear and tear unpaid in order to attend a “mandatory meeting”. Is this legal or is there an argument to be made that I need paid/reimbursed for the mileage/maintenance?
