Employers must compensate employees who travel on company business. But, employers need not pay employees their regular rate during that time. Employers may pay a lower rate for travel time during which no work is performed, as long as the rate is at least minimum wage and employees are informed of the lower rate before they travel.

To ensure that employees understand the lower rate before they travel, employers may require employees to sign this acknowledgment of their pay rate for travel time.
