mileage reimbursement for hourly worker

[josephnj]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NV

I am in the process of being hired by a CA-based company, as an hourly employee. I live in NV, and the job entails driving to clients' homes for consultations, in Las Vegas, NV. I've been told that there will be no reimbursement for car mileage.

I was wondering if this is correct?

Thanks!What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

They don't have to pay you for mileage but except for the first trip in the morning and the last trip home, they must pay you for all the travel time during the day. It is considered time worked.

BUT they do not have to reimburse you for mileage (you know, like $.45/mile or whatever the IRS allows). If you are not reimbursed, you can take this as a deduction on your taxes.

I'm genuinely curious as to what you mean by this. They have to pay mileage for driving from the employees house to work and from work back home? Is that what you are saying?

No, in NV (and in 47 other states) mileage is not required at all.

The employee does not need to be paid for travel between home and his first call of the day, or between the last call of the day and home. That is not considered work time. However, all travel time between locations OTHER THAN these, is considered work time for which the employee must be paid. It is a separate issue from mileage, which is never required by law in the poster's state.

while I understood what you posted, I will agree it is written in such a fashion that it could confuse a person not familiar with what you posted.

Your first sentence spoke, first, to mileage and then changed, sans comma or any other form of separation, to wages.

I would suggest if you had written it as such:

They do not have to pay you for mileage. Except for the first trip in the morning and the last trip home, they must pay you for all travel time during the day. That time is considered time worked.

Damned subordinate clauses.

I probably could have worded it better, BUT if he had read it completely, it would have made sense.
