[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You seem to misunderstand the IRS reimbursement rate, 15:01. It doesn't matter what job you do, it covers the reasonable expenses of driving on the job. It sounds like your husband's employer has decided that to retain certain employees it is worth it to offer extras, like insurance payment. Good for him. But you need to understand that is unusual and unnecessary and the IRS rate is standard for a reason. It is fair and sound policy for anyone who drives on the job.

Nannies are not some special class who should get more because they drive on the job.[/quote]

Ok, your jab was unwarranted. I don't have any pretensions about being special but I do have a fair knowledge of government contracting. Having answered plenty of RFPs I can tell you government reimbursement rates reflect the needs of the average government contractor, doing a large volume of business over a long term contract making it possible to achieve economies of scale. I can also tell you there are exemptions for solo contractors, such as those for group home workers, that give higher reimbursement for using a personal vehicle. I assume there is an increased risk transporting the mentally ill or individuals with behavioral issues. My point is, the IRS rates are ill fitted for your nannies work tasks compared to the average govt contractor - even the government observes exceptions.[/quote]
