I would guess even lower than those estimates. Companies only pay a fraction of the gas mileage used on a car for work purposes: I expect they wouldn’t be on the hook for even the full percentage of electricity and data for work devices used from home. This could be a nice offset but I would be surprised if companies start picking up the tab for a full 8 hours of electricity for a home, let alone 8 hours of usage of a single computer. Additionally if it requires tracking and reimbursement the way miles do it will be a burden not all employees will bear.
- ghaff 3y ago>Companies only pay a fraction of the gas mileage used on a car for work purposes How so? Are you arguing that the IRS 65.5 cents per mile doesn't appropriately compensate for costs?
- memco 3y agoYes, although it is pretty good. My gas currently costs only 14 cents per mile so the other 51.5 cents needs to cover the cost for insurance and maintenance and the purchase price which can mean that you could come out ahead or behind depending on the situation. The company isn’t required to pay the full cost of operating the vehicle if they are more than the 65.5 cents so from that I am extrapolating that companies aren’t going to be paying the full price per employee just some averaged price. It will be a help to those who are currently paying out of pocket costs and will hopefully not be an undue burden on employers or employees.
