If you're charging for 9.5 hours, it should be 9.5 hrs of work plus .5 lunch for a total time elapsed of 10 hours.
So you get paid for traveling between the gate and your office? That's a new one.
JFC can you people extrapolate ANYTHING or do I need to spoon-feed it? I'm hoping that you're poking just to mess with me, because otherwise..................
But in case people really can't follow my point: if your hours in the office are 0715-1645, that's 9 hours charged plus 30 minutes of lunch. With that schedule you'd probably pass by gate 3 around 0700 & 1700 if you assume 15 minutes walking to car + driving to the gate. If the gate previously opened at 0600 (if not 0530) and closed at 1730, my point was that there are normal work hours that could reasonably have been accommodated by the (now defunct) gate 3 schedule. I was only pointing that out because Hodr indicated it wasn't possible to both enter and exit the gate with a normal work schedule. I think I reasonably showed that there was plenty of flexible time, assuming a 9 hour work day, and that even with a 10 hour work day it was possible to adjust your schedule accordingly. For anyone that doesn't work shift 1 or had to start/end at odd hours, they were (and still are) SOL.
To Hodr: 10.5 hours between entry and departure could be accommodated by 0600 arrival and 1630 departure (or 0630 arrival and 1700 departure just to make sure you had 30 minutes leeway between opening & closing of the gate). But it sucks to have your hours determined by a gate.
