Travel Between Patient Locations for Hourly Employees: Drive Time

The Company refers to travel time between patient sites as Drive Time. All hourly employees are paid for Drive Time at a rate equal to the current minimum wage. Drive time will appear on a Behavior Technician's schedule and is set by the scheduling department. The Company does its best to estimate actual drive time, and it is the Behavior Technician's responsibility to let their scheduler know promptly if an assigned drive time is not sufficient, whether for a single trip or for recurring trips to a patient shift. If a Drive Time period is delayed by construction, an accident, severe weather, or any other reason, the Behavior Technician must notify the headquarters office so that the Company can decide whether the patient shift needs to be canceled. When a shift is canceled for that reason, every effort will be made to reschedule it. Employees must record Drive Time on their timecards, and Drive Time counts toward an hourly employee's total hours worked.

Hourly administrative and office personnel are not eligible for Drive Time compensation.
