Practice question
A company driver is required to pick up coworkers before the normal shift and transport them to a remote field office, then bring them back afterward. The service is mandatory and benefits the employer. Payroll calls all of it the driver’s personal commute solely because the route begins near his residence. Which is best?
- All trips near home are unpaid
- A company vehicle makes work hours irrelevant
- Transporting coworkers can never be a duty
- Only the passengers’ convenience matters
- The mandatory transport duty is work; Rada rejected treating such assigned driving merely as ordinary commuting
