Mileage Reimbursement in Massachusetts

In a case concerning wage and hour violations, the owners of two restaurants appealed against citations issued by the Fair Labor Division. They argued that their methods for reimbursing delivery drivers were misunderstood. The court affirmed citations related to mileage reimbursements.

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT... The court ruled that the only way to reimburse for mileage expenses is to reimburse for them. Raising the wages of employees to cover mileage expenses is not legal.
