Travelling Expenses

Rates as of April 28 2024

General rule: No employee is required to use his own vehicle for his employer’s business. When, at the request of the employer, the employee uses his own vehicle for the benefit of the employer, he shall receive compensation of $0.49 per kilometre travelled, which is considered as covering all expenses relating to the employee’s vehicle.

Article 23.02 When an employee is assigned to more than one job site in the same work day and he is required to use his vehicle for such travelling, he is entitled to reimbursement of his parking fees, if any, upon presentation of receipts.

When free parking is not available or the employer does not provide free parking to its employees, within 500 metres’ walking distance of the job site, an employer shall reimburse parking costs up to a $20-a-day maximum upon the presentation of vouchers for any employee who works the number of hours established by the employer or who benefits from show-up pay as provided for in Article 18.01.

Article 23.09 4)When the distance between the employee’s residence and the job site is 120 or more kilometres or when, at the employer’s request, an employee agrees to take room and board within a distance of 120 kilometres of his residence and the employee performs the number of working hours scheduled by the employer within the working day or benefits from compensation as specified under Article 18.01, Subsections 1) and 2), he shall receive a daily room and board allowance as compensation for travelling expenses:

The daily allowance for room and board is $137.50 per day. This compensation is not applicable if the employer applies Article 23.10.

Any employee whose standard work schedule enables him to perform a complete week of work in less than 5 days is entitled to compensation corresponding to 5 days of work.

When the distance between an employee’s residence and the job site is 480 or more kilometres, the employee shall receive daily compensation for room and board for the day preceding the first day of work on the job site and such compensation for the day following the last day of work on the job site.

The daily allowance for room and board is $137.50 per day. This compensation is not applicable if the employer applies Article 23.10.

This daily allowance is only payable once per job site and shall not result in the payment of more than one compensation per day or the payment of such compensation more than seven (7) times within the same weekly period. Moreover, this daily compensation for room and board may not be added on top of the compensation for room and board payable for the preceding day.
