Define Normal Working Hours

Our current policy on reimbursement of travel and education expenses talks about "normal working hours." However, this is a hospital, in a rural area, and I have a few questions about how others would define:
1. Normal working hours for nurses (or others) who may work any or all shifts during a 4-week schedule.
2. Normal working hours for staff with more personally flexible hours, who some days come in at 9:00 but other days come in at 7:30, due to family needs or driving conditions.
3. Normal working hours for nurses (or others) who typically work only the night shift. My concern is that, if we define their normal working hours as 11pm - 7 am, for example, then they are not paid for time spent traveling as a passenger outside those normal working hours.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Or you could go with the hours that the business office is open to the public.
