Travel time will be limited to a maximum of one <br />(1) hour each way. Only that period of time devoted to <br />work will be compensated. Time spent on personal <br />pursuits or other non-work related activity will not be <br />compensated. <br /> <br />Those employees who have advance notice of their required <br />appearance in court, have arranged an appearance time <br />with the District Attorney's Office, or who otherwise <br />have advance notice of mandatory court appearances, will <br />not be compensated for travel time in any manner. <br /> <br />33 <br />
