  Once your workday starts, all the time you spend in work-related activities â€" including traveling from one work site to another â€" should be on the pay clock, said Carlos Burruezo, a labor and employment lawyer with Littler Mendelson in Orlando, Fla.
  
  Your case is somewhat complicated by the fact that your employer is paying you for these trips.But even if the reimbursement were more than your hourly rate, it must be done on the clock.
  
  The reason, Burruezo explained, is that the time you spend driving from one site to another is part of your work week and must be counted for purposes of overtime.
  
  For example, if, in a given week, you spent 38 hours in your reception job and another four hours driving from one work site to another, your employer would owe you time-and-a-half for two hours of overtime.
  
  Your employer could pay a lower hourly rate for your drive time, Burruezo said, but that would complicate the calculation of your correct overtime rate.
  
  And, he added, your unpaid lunch break is legal only if you have no work-related duties during the break.Driving to another office is a work- related duty.
  
  He suggests going to your employer first and asking to be compensated properly under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
