Business travel mileage should follow the travel policy. The travel policy limits reimbursable miles to the number driven in excess of the number of miles involved in the individual’s daily commute (round trip) for work. Generally:
- If the traveler’s headquarters (or primary work location as defined by the traveler’s flexible work agreement or HR documentation) is different than their residence, then the mileage reimbursement is calculated by deducting the daily commute.
- If the traveler’s headquarters (or primary work location as defined by the traveler’s flexible work agreement or HR documentation) and their residence are the same location, then a daily commute deduction is not required.
