portal-to-portal
A term encountered in disputes over what constitutes compensable "working time" under Federal laws. Portal literally means "entrance" and, in underground coal mining, portal refers to the mine mouth or entry at the surface. Hence, portal-to-portal as a descriptive term means strictly elapsed time from entry through the portal to exit on return.
