John is a Training Specialist for a retail operation in Omaha, NE. His normal hours are 8am – 5pm Monday-Friday with an hour for lunch. Due to a system upgrade, John has had to travel to multiple locations to train staff on the upgrades. The following travel occurred within a pay period: 7) Fort Worth, TX by airplane - John left on a Monday morning at 8am and returned on Tuesday at noon and did not return to work that day. John recorded the following hours for his timecard: Monday = 16 hours (8am – midnight) and Tuesday = 12 hours (midnight – 12pm). 8) Kansas City, MO by car – John left on Wednesday morning at 8am, arrived in KC by 11am, conducted the training and left KC by 5pm. John arrived back in Omaha at 8pm. John recorded the following hours on his timecard: Wednesday = 12 hours (8am – 8pm) His supervisor questioned John about this, John replied that because he was traveling for work, he was “on the clock” and therefore should be paid for it. For both #7 and #8, how many “compensable hours” does John actually have?
