The mileage reimbursement rate for Clemson University employees who drive their own vehicles for official travel when no university vehicle is available now is 56.5 cents per mile for travel after Dec. 31, 2012. That’s an increase of one cent per mile.
If an employee chooses to use his or her personal vehicle when a university vehicle is available, the reimbursement rate now is 52.5 cents per mile, up from 51.5 cents. The reimbursement rate for travel to and from nearby airports and train depots when official travel is by air or train also will be 56.5 cents per mile.
The increase is due to a change IRS’ standard mileage rate, which rose Jan. 1. Since last July, the state of South Carolina has based the reimbursement rate for state employees on the IRS standard mileage rate.
