it depends on your state requirements.

for example, California employers must pay necessary expenses
employees incur doing job duties, while Florida employers
only have to make sure you get minimum wage (and you can pay
your expenses out of your own paycheck).

and, even if the company owes you for the travel expenses,
it's also possible (but not certain) that the extra pay (8
hrs for 4 hrs) might be enough to satisfy that legal
requirement.

finally, employers usually don't have to pay (mileage or
travel time) for a "regular commute." so, if this is a
regular workday and the drive to hq. is about as far as you'd
go to your regular workplace, they wouldn't owe mileage.

good luck.
