HFM adopts
standardized mileage chart
Employees are required to submit mileage claims based on
established distances
Effective July 31, HFM BOCES staff must base their requests for
mileage reimbursement on a
maximum
mileage” chart that was adopted by the HFM BOCES Board of
Education in July.
This chart establishes a specific maximum number of miles that
HFM will reimburse employees for their travel between designated
locations.
Employees can log on to
Yahoo Maps to calculate mileage between locations not
included on the chart.
By adopting a standardized mileage chart, Superintendent Dr.
Geoffrey H. Davis said that HFM will be in compliance with the
State Comptroller’s recommendation that HFM adopt a “maximum
mileage" policy between locations.
In addition, he said, this new policy should reduce the number
of mileage claims that are rejected during the auditing process,
while also improving efficiency.
“The Board of Education expressed concern about the nearly
monthly rejection of a number of mileage reimbursement claims by
HFM’s internal claims auditor. The review of claims was also
consuming a tremendous amount of staff time. This new process
should make the mileage reimbursement process easier for
everyone.”
