Common use of Daily Commute Clause in Contracts

Daily Commute. Daily commute travel applies to daily travel to and from a construction, shutdown, project, or maintenance contract site that is at one site for 4 days or more. Where the employee is not commuting from their normal place of residence, the travel distance is measured between the worksite and their assigned point of accommodation. Where the employee commutes from their normal place of residence, the travel distance is measured between the worksite and the nearest of their residence or the shop whichever is the lesser. For the purposes of calculating daily travel on these projects, there will be a travel free zone of twenty-five (25) road kilometres from the work site. Travel will be paid outside the travel free zone to and from the assigned accommodation at the applicable rate, calculated at 80 km per hour. The maximum overtime payable for such travel time shall be 1.5X straight time rates and such travel shall not be used to compute double (2x) time calculations. When the transportation provided by the employer, for the conveyance of the employee, is delayed by extenuating circumstances beyond the control of the employee, the employee shall be paid for all such time at the applicable rate. This does not apply to slow moving traffic, construction delays, or traffic congestions. This does apply if the road is closed to vehicle traffic for at least 15 minutes for any reason including accident investigation, construction, or to allow passage of a convoy or large equipment.
