What are the laws for employee travel pay in Missouri?

Asked by JMCSD (243points) August 25th, 2011 from iPhone

In Missouri, what are the laws revolving around an hourly employee being paid to travel? I understand that true legal advice can’t be given, but other than a page or two I can’t find any information on it.

Basically, I was sent to another state to do onsite stuff. I was at my office at 8:00am, then left and drove myself to the airport. I arrived at my destination airport, and drove a rental to the hotel for the evening. It was a 12.5 hour day which they want to compensate me for 8 hours of.

I’m not trying to split hairs, but I’d rather not spend time away from my family and my own bed if I’m not going to be compensated for it.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Joe
