Message: Silly question maybe, but I just got back from an assignment where we travelled out West to cover a local delegation at a big convention.) Station of course paid for flight/lodging/rental car...even gave us a company credit card for meals. My question: On two of the days we worked 12-hour days...non-stop. So, do we mark down that we worked 12-hour days? I say yes; my photog says no (she says that because the station is paying...and that it's a privilege to travel...that those 12-days should be considered as "normal" working days.) Who's right?
