So I`m a nurse who works as a care manager for an insurance company through a home care agency. I am paid per visit. That`s all. I do between 1500 and 2000 km per month. I don`t get compensation for any of that. I just said, “Oh, you can take that from your taxes.” I also do not receive compensation for the time I spend by car, which was up to 5 hours on some days, since my territory covers 8 counties. I`m really angry because everything I bring home is almost less than what would be a mileage check for a month, and I was told I had to calculate .3394 cents per kilometer driven for wear and tear on my vehicle. Which puts me in the negative! I need to have a meeting with my supervisor to discuss a decision that would prevent me from looking for work elsewhere. so they don`t lose their contract with the insurance company because I`m the only employee they have at that time under the contract. So any suggestions, what are my rights or what the NC labor laws say about it, because I`m good to go. What do you propose as “fair” to present it as compensation on my part??? Note that if you follow all the rules for a surrender plan and your employer has included refunds in box 1 of your W-2 form, you can ask your employer to correct this. I have an unusual situation.
I work in the oil and gas industry, and my employer pays me by the hour. I often have to travel in my personal vehicle out of state and have a mileage of $0.575 per mile. The problem is that my employer pronounces me at a daily rate and also charges 1.50 $US per kilometer to the client I work on. Can you legally earn from the use of my personal vehicle? This seems to me to be unethical and, in the worst case, illegal. Can someone give me a guide? Thank you for your contribution. That is exactly what I think. I understand that there is no case law or opinion from the Department of Wages and Hours that specifically addresses it, but logic tells me that since a guaranteed wage is treated in the same way as the federal minimum wage, kickback (in terms of mileage, etc.) is not allowed when it comes to freeing up employees. Of course, it takes a worker to sue an employer in court for employers to realize. Thank you.
If you do not have a contract, the benefits may change legally. There may be NC laws that represent mileage, so it would be a good idea to talk to a labour lawyer about it. Two questions. 1. Can a company charge a customer more mileage refund than it pays the employee? For example, my company charges a customer .58 per kilometer, but only pays me .28 per mile, which is tax-exempt, so you only get .30 for every mile I put on my personal vehicle? And the second question is that I`m not on the clock during the ride, so I could work 4 hours on a case, then drive an hour or two off the clock to work another 4 hours, how can I take the kickback on it? Thanks to any contribution. For employees, not much is written about it, so I can`t say that 100% applies if the same rule applies. . . .
