As prices and petrol continue to increase the Joint Trade Unions have submitted a claim to Sandwell MBC for an increase to mileage rates from 45p per mile to 80p per mile.
The attached claim also requests for staff working from home to be able to claim for journey’s where they are required to attend work in the middle of the day. The current rules around claiming mileage do not reflect the post pandemic world of work where many staff are expected to work from home.
