Outstation Trips

A friend, Vincent, just returned from a 3 day 2 night trip to a neighboring state. He was there for work because his company clinched a new project. Vincent said that this is just the beginning and there will be more similar outstation trips to make until the project is wrapped up.

Vincent told me that while accommodation is provided for though he has to share his hotel room with other male colleagues, he is afraid that he would not be compensated for his fuel. From what I understand, there is no Auto Allowance program in place yet but who knows, perhaps the company will start paying them for their transportation too now that they have to do field work.

According to Vincent, he is not very happy with the arrangement until he gets confirmation that he will be compensated for all the traveling. He said that it would be cost saving if a few of them could car pool but since they will have to go to various locations, it would not be practical to share a car.

I know that one of Vincent’s concern his spanking new car being used for work. Oh well, I hope he will be compensated fairly. I am sure he wouldn’t mind then!
