Mileage Reimbursement Increase

Last week the CMCA Board of Directors voted to increase our mileage reimbursement to $.45 per mile effective May 1. This decision was not made lightly as we are not receiving any increase in funding to make this happen. It was done out of respect for employees who are asked to drive their own vehicles as part of their job and to acknowledge the rising cost of gas. We will however continue to look for ways to reduce mileage. Please try to combine tasks when driving your own vehicle (make two stops on one trip instead of two separate trips) and look for opportunities to ride with other staff or use an agency vehicle whenever possible.

Logistics:
You must record and submit ALL mileage reimbursement requests up through April 30 using the $.40 rate by May 11 if you wish to be reimbursed for that mileage. That form will be removed from the website and no longer accepted after May 11. The new form that calculates the $.45 reimbursement rate is also online at www.showmeaction.org and can be used for all reimbursement requests from May 1st on.

Thanks to the Board for recognizing staff as CMCA's most valuable resource.
