NOTE: For purposes of this table, the term "job site" means a duty location within the limits of the official duty station other than the employee's normal duty location.

1/ These rules apply to travel either as a driver of a vehicle or as a passenger in a vehicle within the limits of the official duty station during the same day.

2/ Normal home to work (work to home) travel and bona fide meal periods are not included in hours worked.

3/ For travel time outside regular working hours to be compensable under this basic principle, the time spent traveling must be continuous with and serve to extend the employee's regular tour of duty.

4/ Travel from home directly to a job site within the limits of the official duty station is viewed as normal home to work travel. The same applies for travel from a job site directly to the employee's home after regular working hours.
