BY: FINANCE AND PERSONNEL COMMITTEE, SUE ANN DOUGLAS, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET - AMENDMENT TO BUSINESS EXPENSE
REIMBURSEMENT REGULATIONS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS pursuant to M.R. #96275, the Board of Commissioners adopted the
Revised Business Expense Reimbursement Regulation, which specifies those
business related expenses for which a county employee may obtain
reimbursement; and
WHEREAS Section (II C. 2. b.) of the above reference regulations
outlines procedures for calculating personal mileage, specifically:
Mileage will be calculated from an employee's work station. Generally
work station is meant to be normal or regular station of work. However,
should an employee begin the work day traveling directly from home to
another site, or returning from another site directly home at the end of
the day, that alternate site shall be considered a temporary work
station for the purposes of mileage calculation. ; and
WHEREAS the above reference neglects to codify an on-going practice by
which employees, when assigned to a temporary work station from home (or
return) may receive personal mileage reimbursement from that temporary work
station to and from home or their normal work station, whichever is less; and
WHEREAS leaving that codification out of the regulations will cause the
amount of personal mileage reimbursement to escalate without adding fairness
to the employee.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners amends the Business Expense Reimbursement Regulations by
deleting the language under current Section II. C. 2. b., and replacing it
with the following:
Mileage will be calculated from an employee's work station. Generally,
work station is meant to be the normal or regular station of work. No
mileage will be reimbursed for travel between an employee's domicile and
his/her official work station, except when an employee is assigned to
work in a location other than his/her official work station (temporary
work station). Mileage reimbursement will be allowed from home to the
temporary work station or from the normal work station to the temporary
work station, which ever is less.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this amendment become effective on the first
day of the pay period following its adoption by the Board of Commissioners and
concurrence by the County Executive.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance and Personnel Committee, I move
the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
