Claiming expenses - wifes employer NHS frowns upon it

Not really ........ she just needs 'including commuting' on the 'use' aspect - as mine has always indicated.
She would need business use if carrying fare paying passengers ..... but the additional passenger supplement isn't construed as that. It's merely the extra wear and tear being compensated for.
No, if she was carrying fare-paying passengers then she would need insurance for hire and reward.A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0 -
I used to work in Local Government and we got paid for travelling to courses, but at a much lower rate (less than one third) than the standard mileage rate.I want my sun-drenched, wind-swept Ingrid Bergman kiss, Not in the next life, I want it in this, I want it in this

Burn the public sector worker. She can use her gold plated pension to pay her expenses.I'm not bad at golf, I just get better value for money when I take more shots!0

If it was 200 miles then fair enough.
ive been able to claim expenses before for courses and had no problems albeit it wasnt for the government or nhs though0 -

A detour of 5 miles is, at most, 2.5 miles off the direct route.0 -
I have worked in the NHS and could claim 55p per mile (hence making a tidy profit) for work related mileage. I had to take off the home to base distance first, so I was only paid for the extra miles I travelled. As I travelled a lot between different sites in the trust, I made around £150 per month profit as my actual petrol costs were only apx 10p / mile at the time and any wear and tear to my vehicle was repaired free of charge by my dad who owns an mot garage.
Agree that she should be paid the mileage if work have requested her to go to the training course, frowning or not doesn't come in to it, if they have a policy they shoudl stick by it. Can the OPs wife ask HR for a copy of the expenses policy?0 -
