DANVILLE – Vermilion County's health department administrator thinks the county's mileage-reimbursement rate is too low and has asked for an increase.
Administrator Steve Laker, who has as many as 40 employees getting mileage reimbursements, has asked the county board to consider increasing the current reimbursement rate to the same level as the federal rate approved by the Internal Revenue Service, which is currently 50.5 cents per mile.
Vermilion County has a floating rate that is 2.5 cents less than the federal rate. Currently, the county rate is 48 cents a mile.
