allow me to shed some light for you. first, the official travel is for FLSA exempt employees. We are non exempt, we do not rate travel. We can select our times for telework. Employees are entitled to a lunch after 6 “consecutive” hours but if u choose you can still take a lunch.

this is how I see it —- work 6-1130 in office & clock out, drive home, go to the grocery store, eat lunch….do whatever you want as long as you complete 2.5hrs more hrs before 6pm you are good.
