Last week my company sent me out with a couple of other guys, to a little island to do some improvements. First few days went smoothly, but on the third day we ran into trouble with the conditions and plans need to change in order to continue. Im not the person who decides how many millions of dollars more need to be spent to fix the situation. But I was stuck on an island in a little cabin away from my family for an extra few days waiting for the ferry ride home. Is it fair for me to expect to be compensated for those days I wasn’t working but was stuck on the island? Also, the project was on behalf of the town, so I was being paid a lot more in prevailing wage then my normal wages. How would you log your hours for compensation if it was you?
