whats a reasonable rate for mileage

corkgsxr · 22-02-2013 08:21PM #1

Havent had a job that pays mileage in a while, itll be debated so what's a reasonable rate per mile.

Stheno · 22-02-2013 08:21PM

varies in different companies I've worked in, some do civil service rates, others do an amount per mile, and others pay on the basis of zones, and just have a round trip payment.

Is it public or private sector?

The rate is usually per kilometre.

61c per mile in my place. Worked it out at about 20 quid an hour after fuel when i'm not stuck in traffic. Civil service rates here. Depends on size of motor and number of miles travelled per year.

Sliding scale based on engine size here. Allowance for age too.

2 litre is 78 cents per mile.

I'd say go for the civil service rates at a minimum.

Although if your going to be doing high mileage and driving all day those rates won't work out for them.

I think a lot of places use the civil service rates.

Just noticed they have an 8c per km rate for a bicycle!

Im a principal and was at a course today. The rate was 16.92 cent per km. Doesnt come anywhere near those rates for the civil service.

Thatnastyboy · 22-02-2013 09:22PM

44c per mile here,

Private sector...

A car doing 50mpg willl cost circa 13c-15c per mile (diesel) and add in a few cents for wear & tear, tax etc.

My motor does 26-28mpg and i still make a decent lump from it..

60c per mile is rediculous imo

Thats a ridiculous rate to be given. If their the rates set I don't see how they can give less. Were you required to go to the course by them? It says above the rates that its for those obliged to use their cars so maybe those not "obliged" aren't given the full rate

When i'm doing the mileage its generally outside work hours getting to another location and having to leave early etc. or travel to Kerry on a Sunday to be in for 9 the next day so I wouldn't see it as being unfair when it cuts into my personal time. It'd be a crazy amount if it was during working hours though!

Bit low. That wouldn't cover much tbh.

And for a car is 50c per mile / 31c per km in my place.

It's a great scam that the Govermnet are doing. Trying to get people to buy more full efficient cars, the great scrappage con, and they then pay more for their own employees to drive bigger motors. It should be a flat rate at the lowest rate and the person bears the cost of driving a bigger motor.

Should the driving time be considered working hours entitling you to OT or time in lieu?

The civil service rates are a maximum before mileage becomes taxable.

Never been the case in any company I worked in where you'd to travel outside of your normal working day. Only time it was counted was for billing purposes hours travelling were charged to the client.

I wish! Don't get that for being in the office late as it is. I could either get the bus or train and have that covered or drive my car and at least make some money from the mileage.
