Labored Thoughts NECA Podcast Network

Today I am joined by Kevin Tighe and Larry Bradley to discuss how the NEBF and NEAP consider per diems. Because no road trip is complete without a few detours, we find our way into discussing much more about the NEBF and NEAP than we planned for. Don't miss this one!

In this episode, we are joined by James Fagan, NECA General Counsel and VP of Risk Management, as we attempt to wrap our heads around the complex issue of per diems, overtime, and the employees' regular rate of pay. Grab a pen and calculator. This is going to be fun!

This episode runs a little longer than most, but what can I say? Chuck and I got stuck in traffic a few times on our road trip. Listen to find out if we can actually be compensated for all that time sitting in the car!
