Each week we receive a number of payroll questions on our forum, and here are this week’s batch. Can you help with any answers?
How do companies pay part miles for passenger payments?
I would like to know how other organisations pay part miles through payroll as I want to update our procedures as it does not mention paying part miles or not paying part miles!
Currently our mileage claim forms allow part miles to be put on the form and the totals rounded up or down when paid. (The payroll software that we use only allows complete miles.)
We pay passenger miles when appropriate of 5 pence per mile. This is always rounded down to the nearest 5 pence as I believe that they can only claim 5 pence per whole mile.
Example of a section from current form:
No of TOTAL
Passengers Business UP TO 1,000 miles Passenger
miles to Pence per Mile Pence per Mile
claim 0.73 0.05
1 10.1 7.37 0.51
1 10.6 7.74 0.53
TOTALS 20.7 15.111 1.035
TOTAL PAID 21 miles £15.33 £1.00
Any advice or pointers welcome.

Jayne: Employment law, in its “protection of wages” rules, states that an employer can only deduct money from your wages if there is a clause in your employment contract allowing them to do so, or if you have given advance written permission for the deduction. Your manager certainly cannot simply decide to make an example of you by unilaterally arranging to deduct money from your wages. You may only need to discuss the situation with your personnel department but, if that is not possible or helpful, you need to appeal formally against the decision using House of Fraser’s grievance procedure. Last resort is to visit your local Citizens Advice Bureau and ask for their guidance in making a claim to recover the deduction at an employment tribunal.
