[VA] Do employers have to pay full hourly wages for employee travel time between job sites?

I'm a residential/commercial cleaning business owner in Virginia. I need to know what the state/federal law is concerning reimbursing my employees for drive time in between jobs. I currently pay their regular pay (ranging from $20–25/hr) to drive between sites. Is it legal for me to pay them just minimum wage for these trips? They are using their own vehicles. There are only 3 or 4 of them that get both gas money for drive time AND travel time (for locations 45 min–1 hr 15 min away from our base location in Warsaw, VA). Thank you!

[VA] Can I recover back pay for missed work due to mold exposure causing health issues?

I have been missing a lot of work since September due to health issues. A coworker came to me in mid-September and told me there was mold gathering on some equipment that we were working on and had sent samples to a mold specialist. The tests had come back positive for several different types. I explained to my foreman that I wanted to be moved outside, and that was not an issue. Should I be allowed back pay for the hours I missed?
