How much per mile??

Published

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).

Your agency should pay, minimally, whatever the current IRS rate is...

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...

I've never had an agency that paid anywhere near the IRS rate, so count yourself lucky.

I don't work home health but I do get paid for mileage. The current US gov't rate is $.50/mile.

Its re-evaluated twice per year and adjustments made if necessary.

The agencies I've worked for in the past have always paid the IRS mileage rate. Currently, I'm getting .50 per mile.

Well, no worry for me because I have never been paid mileage at all, with one exception, as an incentive to work a certain case.

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.

My agency pays .41 cents/mile so consider yourself fortunate:rolleyes:
