Commutes should be paid work.
The truck repair guys where i work do get extra pay per hour of travel.
Are they not in this context?
In my neck of the woods, most commutes are not paid. Only when you are at the workplace that the meter starts running. OP probably got paid only 15ish minutes, since all they had to do was press a button.
If a worker comes in outside their scheduled hours, they should have a minimum call-out charge at their overtime rate.
I've worked a few places where it was two hours, but I've had a four hour minimum before.
