Travel time is often a confusing topic for caregivers. In Alaska, compensation is required when travel is part of the primary work activity—such as moving between client homes. However, ordinary home-to-work travel is not considered compensable.

Agencies must carefully track caregiver movements to remain compliant with wage regulations. CareSmartz360 supports this by automatically recording caregiver travel time through GPS-enabled EVV. This ensures caregivers are fairly paid for legitimate travel hours, while agencies avoid disputes and payroll errors.

By clearly distinguishing between compensable travel and regular commuting, agencies protect both caregivers and their own compliance obligations. The result is greater trust, improved retention, and streamlined payroll accuracy.
