Florida Business Travel Laws?

Question

Ok, so I just went on work related travel and I turned in my gas reciept and gave the amount of mileage. I am being told I only get reimbursed for the mileage because it includes gas and wear and tear on my vehicle. I used to work in AP and handle expense reports. And we reimbursed for mileage and gas, food, etc. Or am I just not remembering correctly. Can anyone enlighten me or let me know where I can look up with information???

Answer 1

Federal tax law allows either specific costs or mileage but not both and corporate rules normally follow these rules.

Answer 2

Each company applies its own reimbursement policy.  There are no laws that govern this.

However, in most of the cases I've heard about, automobile travel expenses are, either, paid by the mile, OR paid out through the details of each auto-related expense.  So, it's either/or, but not both.

Of course, other expenses are counted separate, such as food and lodging.

So, the only place to "look it up" is with your company's own policy.

Answer 3

There are no laws.  It's up to the company.  If you don't like it, complain to your union if you have one.
