At my work, travelling time doesnt count. This isn't so bad because i work in a workshop most of the time, but if we have a job at a quayside away from work, we still dont get paid for travelling to it if it is first thing in the morning etc that we are going to that job? I can see where your boss is coming from about being at the first job at your start time, and if that is the case then you should be working your 9-5.30pm. Thats my opinion though bud, could be totally wrong.
