Should home-based worker get more overtime salary?
DEAR CARRIE: I am a home-based employee of a large medical-equipment manufacturer. Before my first call of the day, I perform administrative duties. And I am paid for that time. I also earn overtime when I work more than 40 hours a week. But because of a quirky overtime policy, I usually don't receive all the pay I am owed. That's because when we put in for overtime, the company expects us to deduct one hour of commuting time automatically. I have to do this even though I'm home-based, and I am home-based because my company structured the job that way. Is it legal to require me to deduct commuting time?
