Hi there, I need to calculate the travel mileage of a staff. it is RM0.80/km. The staff lives in A and works at our branch there, and was asked to cover for our branch in B. For the calculation do we cover to and fro to B or only cover the expense to B? Means for the travel expense should we consider it as 2 way (travel to work at B from A, and head home from B to A) or just count 1 way (travel from A to B).

Travel mileage and expense reimbursement for the staff member covering the branch in location B are usually calculated round-trip.
The calculation should account mileage for:
Travel from staff home A to branch B
Returning from branch B to staff home A
Therefore, the total distance covered is A to B and back to A.
Calculate the refund amount:
Total kilometers x RM0.80/km
This guarantees the employee is adequately rewarded for travel to the other branch. Covering merely the one-way distance from A to B would not cover all employee travel costs.
Need clarification or have more questions? Let me know! I'll respond in another language if you choose.

If the employee has to travel from location A, which his work place and residence to location B. Then the reimbursement should be from Location A to B and return from Location B to A.
This is because, the employee travels to location B only to carryout the assignments at location B.
