expenses will be allowed as specified by the Comptroller.

§8.2 Mileage Allowance

this unit shall be consistent with the maximum mileage allowance
permitted by the Internal Revenue Service. Such payments shall be made

The State agrees, contingent upon continuation of Legislative approval

provided to the Island, which service has been discontinued, and (b) there
is no way for such employees to reach their work by car except over a toll

bridge. CSEA agrees that the correction of the situation at this work
location will not and cannot be used as a precedent to seek payment of fares

or tolls at other work locations.

clients or residents in the care of the State, the State agrees to provide,
subject to the Rules and Regulations of the Comptroller, a supplemental

mileage allowance rate of seven cents per mile for the use of personal

vehicles for those persons eligible for such allowance when authorized to
transport clients or residents.

When employees make available their personal vehicles to transport
