expenses will be allowed as specified by the Comptroller.

§8.2 Mileage Allowance
(a) The personal vehicle mileage reimbursement rate for employees in

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

in accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Comptroller as

The State agrees, contingent upon continuation of Legislative approval

of recommended funds, to continue payment for car tolls over the

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.
§8.4 Extended Travel

for each weekend employees are in overnight travel status provided they

are in such travel status at the direction of their agency and are at least 300

When employees make available their personal vehicles to transport
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
building or construction materials, the State agrees to provide, subject to
