Speak Out:

An employee recently submitted a Speak Out question regarding mileage reimbursement and the impact of rising gas prices. I appreciate the time taken to raise this, as these questions help ensure clarity and transparency in our practices.

The main concern raised relates to increasing fuel costs and whether reimbursement rates are adjusted in response. We recognize that rising gas prices are affecting staff, and it is reasonable to seek clarity on how this is addressed. As outlined in policies FIN 300 and HR 273, our organization follows the established state rate for nonprofits when reimbursing mileage. This rate is currently set at $0.51 per mile and is applied consistently across the organization.

If you have additional questions or specific concerns about mileage reimbursement, please reach out to your supervisor or HR so we can review and address them as needed.
