How do I define the traveler’s daily commute for eligible mileage reimbursements? [1]
Business travel mileage should follow the travel policy. The travel policy limits reimbursable miles to the number driven in excess of the number of miles involved in the individual’s daily commute (round trip) for work. Generally:
- If the traveler’s headquarters (or primary work location as defined by the traveler’s flexible work agreement [2] or HR documentation) is different than their residence, then the mileage reimbursement is calculated by deducting the daily commute.
- If the traveler’s headquarters (or primary work location as defined by the traveler’s flexible work agreement [2] or HR documentation) and their residence are the same location, then a daily commute deduction is not required.
