Relocation reimbursement
Posted: Wed Sep 28, 2016 4:03 pm
Question ! I just started my first travel assignment and wanted to ask a few questions.
My first question mainly being in regards to travel expense/relocation reimbursement. The first quote I was given was $400, but I negotiated to their supposed ceiling of $500 as I had to drive 1800 miles and spend multiple overnights I hotels. I was speaking with another travel therapist at my assignment today who said I was way lowballed, and she believe the federal regulation was 50c on the mile. Anyone with more experience or better knowledge on that than I?
Also, I had to buy $200 worth of new scrubs (color requirement)- is that something I should have negotiated into my contract to be reimbursed, or would they consider that to fall under the non-taxable "per diem" stipend ?
Any insight into this situation would be appreciated !!!
