Reminder--Documentation Must Support Mileage

Just a reminder that if you claim mileage while working with a client your documentation must include the details of your travel to support that mileage claim.  Auditing is picking up instances where folks have turned in mileage but their documentation never mentions the destinations or activities claimed on the mileage sheet.  Remember that each sheet must back up the other.  If you take a client out into the community and turn in mileage for reimbursement your documentation must include that information. 
 
Also remember that falsifying or inflating mileage for reimbursement is grounds for immediate termination and garnishment of your wages to repay the fraudulent mileage claim(s).  Please don't risk it.  Thank you for helping us keep our records accurate.
