Learn when and how you must compensate employees for travel time. Ensure you comply with the requirements under the Portal Act. Get an update on IRS travel expense documentation requirements. Learn about employer liability for accidents of traveling employees. Clearly define when employee meals are 100% deductible and when they are only 50% deductible. Understand the limitations when personal and business travel and entertainment are mixed. Ensure your records will stand the scrutiny of a compensation or tax audit.
Many employers believe no compensation is required for traveling on company business. This is a myth. Many employees are in fact entitled to their regular rate of pay and, sometimes, overtime pay when traveling on company business. The issues should be which employees must be compensated, what constitutes compensable travel time and why. Travel compensation is followed by the many questions about reimbursable expenses and required documentation. And what about the concept of Respondeat Superior? When and why is the employer liable for the acts of its employees? How far does this liability extend? These are complicated questions to HR, payroll and risk managers should know the answers.
