Mileage reimbursement in the remote work era
How to adapt reimbursement policies for the new reality of hybrid and remote work.
Remote work has radically changed travel patterns, requiring review of reimbursement policies.
Remote employees make fewer daily trips to the office, but may have more sporadic travel for client meetings or corporate events.
Clearly define whether occasional office trips count for reimbursement. Many companies consider yes when remote work is official policy.
Home office may be in different city from headquarters. Establish rules about intercity travel: who pays, frequency limits, and necessary approval.
Consider that remote employees may use car for activities they would previously do in-person at the office, like meeting clients or picking up materials.
Use digital tools to facilitate recording these less frequent but potentially longer trips. Quilometragem works perfectly for this new work pattern.
