Do you still get paid while in flight? (Travel Time)
If a company requires you to travel...
1. Does the company pay for all the air expenses and hotels?
2. If you have a long flight on a plane, does the flight hours still count as your working hours? (Do you still get paid for the hours flying on the plane doing nothing?)
3. Does the company require you to work while on the plane?
4. Is the minimum class for companies travelers' business class and up?
Also, please answer this, 5. Does the company dictate exactly which airline/seat you get? And exactly which hotel/room you stay in? 6. Is there a minimum "level" of hotel you must get? Like 4 stars and up?
8/10.
The company should pay for you to have the hottest stewardess at the airline to personally serve your every need.
Y'all crazy.
1) The company will pay for your reasonable and customary expenses 2) You'll get paid for your forty hours. Whether they are billed or not is a different story. 3) Not typically but show me a consultant who doesn't work on a flight and i'll show you someone who won't be a consultant much longer. If you're on the corporate side, no. Just no. 4) Ha. If you're a corporate shill like me, you're lucky they haven't put seats down in the luggage compartment yet. but you can stay at a reasonable Marriott or Renaissance (or starwood/hyatt/hilton equivalent)
This is too good...
Don't forget about the post lunch BJ (fingerbang, for the female passengers).
Seriously though, if Southwest still gave out bottles of whisky like they did in the 80s, I'd be a frequent flyer. Sure kicks the shit out of peanuts and pretzels.
Can confirm. This guy knows what he's talking about.
Yes, my company pays for hotels, flights, parking, transportation (taxi, uber, car rental), meals with clients plus a per diem.
Most positions where you travel for work are salaried. I've not heard of an hourly employee at my firm ever traveling for corporate business.
No, but most people will.
No, above a certain length you get first domestically or international business.
Checking in as Sales & Distribution Enterprise IT: 1. My company pays for air expense, hotel, ground transportation and meals while I am away from my main office. 2. Unless you are a non-exempt employee (paid hourly), you're not getting overtime. 3. This is completely subjective to the situation. I usually read books when I'm in airports and airplanes but if I need to work on the plane, then I'll work. 4. Coach until you hit status on the airline that you fly. Then you'll get exit-row seats and you'll get first-class every 1/4 flights via accumulated upgrades. 5. Nope. There's a preference for what you should fly but you can fly whatever you'd like. Stay in any hotel you'd like as long as within the allowed range for the city you are travelling to. 6. No.
- Yes. Travel arrangements are booked for us. Flights are typically paid for up front by the company. Hotels are initially paid by employees, then we submit an expense report, including per diem and any other travel expenses incurred (taxi, etc.). Hotels are something decent but nothing spectacular. Almost always a Hilton property.
- It depends. We rarely have long flights. If it is during "business hours" any day of the week or weekend we get paid for them, meaning weekend flights can earn you some overtime. But, if you fly out late on a Friday, no overtime.
- No. Flights are short and infrequent.
- I do not believe so, we are in with the common folk. However, flights are almost always regional so it's not as big of a deal as it would be if we were flying coast to coast or overseas.
