Report Link Toting Files While Commuting Does Not Require FLSA Pay: Court of Appeals.Jackson Lewis LLP - May 12, 2008 Someone was going to raise this issue eventually, we suppose: Under the federal wage-hour law, is an employee entitled to be paid for his commuting time to work simply because he carries work files in a briefcase during his trip? Now we have an answer: No. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, commuting time is not compensable unless the employee is engaged in work for the employer's benefit at the employer's request, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled in Singh v. City of New York. No. 06-2960-cv (Apr. 29, 2008). Furthermore, even where an employee's commuting time may be increased by an employer's policies, if that additional time is trivial, or de minimis, the employee is not entitled to additional compensation under the FLSA. Accordingly, the Second Circuit affirmed the District Court's grant of summary judgment for the employer under the FLSA. The Second Circuit has jurisdiction over Connecticut, New York, and Vermont.
