Exceptions to Deduction of Commute Miles
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. If an employee returns to his/her residence, mileage is calculated from the remote site to the residence, with a reduction for normal one-way commuting miles. Exceptions to this rule are: If the travel occurs on a weekend or holiday, mileage is calculated from the point of departure with no reduction for normal commuting miles. If an employee does not regularly travel to an office/headquarters, the requirement to deduct normal commuting miles does not apply. If travel occurs on a day that is not considered a normal work day for the employee, the requirement to deduct normal commuting miles does not apply. The exception does not apply to those working under the State’s telework policy.
