mileage guidelines

Does your agency specify a time for driving? For example, I heard one agency specifies 2 minutes per mile.Your thoughts?

Re: mileage guidelines

Luckily, No. We do document where, how long, miles, etc, but have never been questioned. I totally depends on the traffic, weather, etc.

Re: mileage guidelines

The only agency that ever paid me for mileage did not specifiy a time limit. They only required me to list the number of miles traveled on my time sheet. When I did my home health clinical while in school, that agency had the nurses put time in and time out of each client home as well as the distance traveled between clients, but to the best of my knowledge there was no tie in regarding the time it took to travel between clients. Although only a student going along with my preceptor, they made me keep a time sheet just like I would have been doing as an employee.

That is ridiculous! Do they micro-manage everything else too?
