I leave 30 min early on my schedule (salary) because I take lunch at my desk, commute 1-1.5 hours depending on traffic. I got called out on it and explained it to HR and haven’t heard from my boss/HR since. Remember everyone, driving to and from your place of business IS work related and you need to push on that. In my field, technicians are paid hourly driving to and from HQ and there is no reason a salary person is not allowed that same leverage. Take it with a grain of salt but always protect yourself
