When an employee is traveling to a training/meeting from home first thing in the morning, do they count mileage from their usual work location or from their home?
According to Bulletin G-28, page 14, mileage shall ordinarily be computed between the traveler’s headquarters and the common carrier or destination. Expenses for travel between the traveler’s residence and headquarters (commuting expense) shall not be allowed. However, mileage expenses may be allowed between the traveler’s residence and the common carrier or destination if University business travel originates or terminates before or after the traveler’s working hours, or if travel originates or terminates during a regularly scheduled day off.
