Mileage Reimbursement Presenters: Ken Peebles, DFA Hagood Tighe, Fisher & Phillips LLP Mike Bassi, Runzheimer International Confidential -Not for Distribution; 2010

This presentation is not legal advice. Please seek legal counsel.. Legal Background Presented by: J. Hagood Tighe, Esq. htighe@laborlawyers.com (803) 255-0000 Fisher & Phillips LLP ATTORNEYS AT LAW Solutions at Work® www.laborlawyers.com This presentation is not legal advice. Please seek legal counsel.. Confidential -Not for Distribution; 2010

Legal Background Employers are required to pay employees minimum wage (tip credit employees are not considered to be paid more than minimum wage, regardless of the amount of tips received). Many lawsuits have been filed claiming that illegal sub minimum wages are being paid to drivers due to inadequate reimbursement for business expenses, including mileage. Confidential -Not for Distribution; 2010

Legal Background Federal law only requires reimbursement for business expenses to the extent they impact minimum wage. The plaintiff’s attorneys in some cases have claimed that the mileage reimbursement should be at the IRS rate. However, the US DOL regulations say that reimbursement can be for actual costs or a reasonable approximate. Confidential -Not for Distribution; 2010

Legal Background To minimize the risk that your business will be the target of a lawsuit, you need to ensure that you are compliant with the law. The courts have not yet ruled in these cases as to exactly how you should reimburse for mileage. Confidential -Not for Distribution; 2010

Legal Background An expert estimate of vehicle operating costs should allow you to demonstrate a good faith effort to reimburse drivers for the reasonably approximate cost of the use of their vehicles. This will mean a move to per mile reimbursement. Many franchisees have already done this. Confidential -Not for Distribution; 2010
