After reading the thread about on-call, I noticed a few of you had posted what you get for mileage. We are having a debate in our office about the amount that we are reimbursed. The official IRS rate is 50.5 (I believe) cents a mile. We are at 44 cents per mile. In the year and a half that I have worked there the IRS rate has gone up as gas prices have gone up. Our rate has not changed.
My question is, what do you get reimbursed for mileage and has it increased since the gas price have skyrocketed?
We want to go to corporate about this as the prices for gas in New Jersey are lower then almost everywhere in the country and we are feeling it. I cannot imagine how the nurses for our company in California, with their high gas prices are handling it. My cost per mile has risen from 11 cents to 19 cents. When we brought it up to the administrator, she had a cat-that-ate-the-canary smile on her face. Could be that she knows that others pay less (and I have seen that on the post about on-call), but I know that at least one hospice in our area pays 50 cents a mile.
You must work for the same company I do. The 'Big Giant Head' was in our office last week, and that was one of the questions for him. He was kind of evasive about it "We're checking into it to see what our competitors are paying their employees". It sounds like others are getting more than 0.44 a mile....so I think he'd better get cracking!

I say just send him this thread. (Except for the one from that poor nurse in LA that was only getting 20/mile, but now gets 35/mile!!!)

I just have to say that in Connecticut gas is hovering around $4/gal.
Thank goodness for my compact sedan!
