I feel like the legality of not reimbursing him for using his personal vehicle for work purposes is fairly dubious though I'd be lying if I said I knew the specifics of the laws there.

Employer: taps head They're a contractor and I don't pay then enough to live.

I think in his case he's salary as a regional manager. Contractor is a whole other thing.

I can only see so much of the article so I don't know where he's based, but I know in some places the reimbursement is mandatory. Per IRS mileage reimbursement is currently $0.725/mile. Working in hospice I drive to patients homes with my supplies full time, which cuts me a check for about $300-450 mo, which more than covers gas.

I actually just switched to a hybrid so since reimbursement stays the same, it'll start paying for the car a well.
