Compensable Time
Compensable Time
Compensable time refers to the hours an employee must be paid for, according to federal or state labor laws.
This typically includes time spent performing work-related tasks, as well as other periods like travel between job sites, mandatory training, and on-call time if employees are required to remain available.
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), compensable time is essential in calculating overtime for non-exempt employees.
Properly tracking compensable time helps ensure employees are paid accurately for all hours worked, supporting compliance with wage and hour regulations and preventing potential disputes.
