Hang on, does that mean you are on site from 8 till 4? With an hours travel on top either end that is fairly standard isn't it, depending on how far 'home' is from the office? Obviously if you live another 2 hours from this office then that is a different matter. The situations I am concerned about are people having to travel two hours to site (from home or office) do eight hours on site and then drive two hours back again, so having done 12 hours for 8 hours pay, or really 10 hours given than an hours travel is generally given. Of course, even travelling one hour so site directly from home would get a bit much over several weeks.
