Does anyone else have such a system at work, or do you know of any existing practices or policies that I can use as a benchmark?
Vehicle mileage ratesThe Council has fixed its car mileage rate at the maximum alloweable for tax-free payment, as set by HM Revenue and Customs (Inland Revenue) for business travel in an employee's own vehicle. The current rates for car mileage are: 40 pence per mile for the first 10,000 miles25 pence per mile after the first 10,000 milesThe mileage rate for a motorcycle or moped is 24 pence per mile. The mileage rate for a pushbike is 20 pence per mile

Why isn't it at least the same as a moped? Surely to encourage cycling it should be MORE than a car for short journeys!? eg. 50p a mile.
Having just checked I realise that my totally cynical post above is actually wrong and that now you do actually get something for nothing if your employer agrees to the government rates. Brilliant!
In fact, I would say keep away from LGVs whenever you can anyway. One slip under those wheels and you're dead.
I'm confused with the milage thingie.... do you get paid to drive / walk / ride TO work??? if so that's a bloody outrage!!
If you get paid to get about whilst AT work then yeah, fair go... should be a flat rate - you make an effort, save some fuel and keep the monies saved... that's fair IMO
get some mud guards. my ares got soaked yesterday.
