I have a question about mileage for gentleman (and ladies?), as is with most companies, our service guys get a mileage reimbursement for using their vehicles, they get 40 cents per mile, they log their miles to and from calls, we have 3 technicians, 2 of them live close to the office and start there day by reporting to the shop everyday at 8am when we open, from there they are dispatched to their calls. One of our techs live 25 miles west of the office where a high concentration of our clients are, as a result we dispatch him from his house to his first call, he logs the mileage between his home to his first call. The owner of our company removed 30 dollars from his reimbursement check this week stating that it is unfair to log the miles between his house and his first call because that is "just like driving to work". I disagree with this statement, as service manager i feel that by dispatching him from his house rather than have him drive 25 miles east to the office only to go west again, is a savings to the company in that if he left from the office it would cost the owner extra money. Am i in the wrong here?
