Agenices are not required to pay anything for mileage, although most at least pay a trip fee or mileage. Few pay the IRS rate but the employee who can itemize deductions for income tax can claim the difference.
I know they are not required...but my experience is with 4 different agencies in 2 states and they all paid whatever the IRS rate was...
IRS rate is only a standard to use on taxes. If you get paid the IRS rate for all your work mileage, then no mileage deduction, if you get paid less than the IRS rate such as 45cents, then you could deduct 5cents per mile on your taxes. I'm sure if your employer pays mileage, then they get to deduct that as their expense, rather than you deducting the expense.

hello fellow nurses,
How much does your employer pay per mileage?? My job pays .50cent/mile, and I heard of another agency that pays .45cent/mile (I thought the minimum by government standard rates is like .50, or .55cent, can't remember).
