How do you get paid for traveling for work?

Question

I work for a small business in illinois, and recently i traveled 96 miles in 3 days from my home. My work is telling me that they are going to only pay me for my gas mileage from work to the destination where as i thought i should be paid from home to destination. But, my job is mostly at the business i would say 97% of the time. Should they pay me for home to destination or work to destination? is there any law in illinois that states how this works?

Answer 1

By IRS rules they have to reimburse from the job to destination.   Not just the rules of your employer, it is a federal requirement.
