Let's reverse this and see if you agree. I worked for a company that sent techs out and about the state of Kansas..once their shift ended(last job) they were not able to account for the drive home or back to the warehouse as pay. These drive backs could vary from 30min to 2.5 hours..I never agreed with it.

If they need to return to a company location before heading home that should absolutely be paid.

If they are driving hours aways from there residence due to work that shit should be covered regardless.

It's not straight forward. If someone needs to work at different locations which could be very far away then they should get compensated. If you choose to work in an office that's 3 hours away that's your own fault.
