Paying for travel

One of our employees wants to drive his car to a business trip a few hours away. It's going to take him an hour longer than the other employees going to the conference who are taking the train. Do we have to pay him the additional hour? It doesn't seem fair to the other employees.

    You don't have to pay him the additional hour. If you offer him transportation by train, but he asks to drive his car instead, you can count as hours worked either the time spent driving the car or the time you would have had to count as hours worked if he had taken the train. But, if you require him to drive his car, you have to count all time spent en route as hours worked regardless of whether they were normal working hours.
