Field | Description |
From date | The date from which the rates start. |
Rate to Distance | The rate per mile for the first x miles at which mileage is paid. If mileage is not paid, please leave this field blank. |
Up to Distance | The number of miles that the Rate To Distance applies to. Any miles exceeding this amount in a year will be paid at the rate specified in the next column, Rate Above Distance. This follows HMRC guidance on paying a different rate for mileage above 10,000 miles. If mileage is not paid, this can be left blank. |
Rate Above Distance | The rate per mile at which mileage is paid, above the Up To Distance field. |
Travel Time Hour Rate | The hourly rate at which travel time is paid. If Travel Time is not paid, this can be left blank. Travel Time may need to be calculated for National Minimum Wage calculations but won't not be paid. |
Rate During | The rate per mile at which any manually entered mileage during a visit is paid. This is entered either at planning or reconciliation within a visit. It is a mandatory field, so if no payment is made, £0.00 must be entered. |
Rate Per Visit | The rate per mile at which a fixed number of miles would be paid. This number of miles is entered when configuring the Employees' travel within their record. |
