Meet New Yorkâs new $15 minimum wage and 12-week paid family leave law, which is the longest allowed leave in the U.S. As part of New Yorkâs 2016-2017 budget approval process, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed two pieces of legislation affecting employers: a minimum wage increase and paid family leave.
IRS publications say that you can deduct mileage driven from your home to work sites if your home is your principal place of business. But itâs actually more complicated than that: to qualify as a principal place of business, your home office must be used regularly and exclusively as your principal place of business.
The standard mileage rate increased this year by 1.5 cents. The new IRS rate is 57.5 cents per mile. A company can reimburse its employees whatever it wants â from zero cents per mile to over the IRS maximum. There is no law mandating how much or how little to reimburse employees.Even if you donât reimburse your employees, they can recover the costs on their taxes.mployees and managers alike can claim mileage as a business expense. Whether the employer chooses to reimburse is up to the employer. No person working for a company and driving his/her own vehicle for business purposes should have to bear the cost of gas, wear, and tear.
