I have to/get to travel for conferences or training for work. We don't get compensated days in lieu for traveling during the weekends. All of our travel, lodging and meals are paid for while we are away. I can also extend my trip by a couple of days (paying for lodging and meals out of my own pocket) if I wanted to stay for a few days. If we're there for a conference we're not expected to take in every single moment, we can skip some conference sessions if we feel nothing applies during that session time, or if we are just feeling burned out. We get to treat it as a working holiday that our company pays for us to be at. So if we have to be there during a weekend, c'est la vie! However, we get planned days off during the week every few weeks. We can change that to a different day if we are away for work when that day was supposed to be.
