Tradesmen International Unpaid Travel Time Claims
We’re standing up for employees who were not paid for all hours worked
Hourly workers deserve to be paid for all hours worked, and under some circumstances, that includes travel time. Unfortunately, some employers don’t follow the law – which means workers get shortchanged.
Nilges Draher LLC is looking to file a potential lawsuit against Tradesmen International for failure to pay for time spent traveling to and from worksites that require an overnight stay. If you are a current or former Tradesmen employee who traveled to overnight jobs, you may be entitled to recover your unpaid wages.

How Tradesmen allegedly violated federal wage and hour laws
Under federal wage and hour laws, while your regular home-to-work commute does not typically have to be paid, travel time is considered working time under some circumstances. Specifically, if overnight travel cuts across your ordinary work hours – even on non-working days – then that time should be paid. For example, if you normally work 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and you need to leave home at 3 p.m. on a Sunday to travel to a job site, then you should be paid for the three hours on Sunday between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.
We believe that Tradesmen failed to follow the law, resulting in unpaid wages for numerous employees, including but not limited to:
- Operators
- Carpenters
- Construction workers
- Electricians
- HVAC technicians
- Laborers
- Plumbers
- Roofers
If you had to travel to worksites that required you to stay overnight but weren’t paid for travel time, then you may be entitled to compensation for your unpaid travel time. We can help.
