High Court Declines Review of Travel Time Case
Review was denied for an Eleventh Circuit ruling which held that workers required to pass through security and travel on employer-provided vehicles to an airport jobsite did not have to be compensated for that time. In Bonilla v. Baker Concrete Construction, Inc., the Eleventh Circuit said that since the employees did not perform any work while they were waiting for or riding the company vehicles to the "actual place of performance" of their principal work activities, and since the security screening did not benefit the employer, the time could not be considered compensable under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
