Did you know that mileage reimbursement requests associated with a regular workday should be adjusted by the number of miles driven from your personal residence to your regular work location? This is an excerpt from the County’s Travel Policy on this subject:
vii. Employees may be reimbursed for the mileage incurred from the point of departure to the travel destination. If an employee departs from daily workplace, mileage is calculated from daily workplace to the destination point. If an employee departs from his/her residence, mileage is calculated from the residence to the destination point, with a reduction for normal one-way commuting miles. For the return trip, if an employee returns to daily workplace, mileage is calculated based on the distance to such daily workplace. If an employee returns to his/her residence, mileage is calculated based on the distance to the residence, with a reduction for normal one-way commuting miles.

Did you know that the County’s travel forms (T-2, T-3, T-4) should always be downloaded directly from the iCobb/Finance webpage? Don’t try to use older versions of the travel forms that you have saved to your computer as they are usually disabled when the new versions are released, and you won’t be able to attach files or sign electronically.
