Mileage Reimbursements - Going The Distance
If a mobile employee drives a few miles out of the way to avoid a major traffic jam,
Should your company pay for the extra mileage?
There isn't just minor contention between companies and their employees when it comes to mileage reimbursements - and at the end of the day each side makes valid points for their defense. Companies want mileage reimbursements to reflect the distance travelled for business purposes only, while employees are looking for their fair shake for time spent on the road.
Appeasing the feud over mileage reimbursements
There is a simple answer for these reimbursement discrepancies, and the answer lies in our name, Driver Reimbursement Software. Using professionally-designed software applications to manage all the driver reimbursements for your company comes with multiple benefits:
- The rules are set, and everyone knows it. There is no flexibility with computers, and if there are problems with the mileage reimbursement computation those can be handled during an initial pilot period.
- Turn around time is essentially instant, meaning employees get paid sooner rather than later.
- Once the software is in place, man hours and management for your driver reimbursement are greatly reduced, if not altogether eliminated.
With the right software package your company can easily and effectively manage its mileage reimbursements for the long term. And since most software is easily rewritten, there is nothing stopping a company from evolving its reimbursement process over time while still maintaining the benefits of automation.
