NH milage reimbursement statutes

[bunkcarspecialist]

I sure would like some help and/or direction in this particular matter! I work for a shortline railroad operation in NH. It had been an industrial common practice, if you report to work at Point A, and sometime during your work day you were required to complete some additional work at Point B, you would clock out what time it would take to have returned to Point A when that work was completed. (Logistics and residency plays HEAVILY in this scenerio as some people in this corporation live at Point B!) So, the corporation first steps in and declares no more additional TIME will be paid, however, MILAGE will be paid to compensate. (Now, supposedly insurance issues are in this picture, as your personal insurance supposedly will NOT cover if you are driving for company purposes.) That is the first argument. Now they have gone one step further and DECLINE to pay the "roundtrip" milage! If I DIDN'T live at point B, this whole argument would have no bearing! I've already looked into the Federal Railroad Administration regulations, and "deadheading" is a contract issue, not a regulation. Furthermore, I'm bloody interested in this issue in regards to the IRS. I'm certain nobody wants to pay what they don't HAVE TO, so whatever isn't dictated to pay by state statutes, I'm certain qualifies as a tax writeoff, IF the poor worker has enough deductions to go long form! (read that the worker gets the short end of the stick TWICE if this issue favors BOTH the corporation AND IRS) So, are there New Hampshire Laws protecting the worker claiming milage and/or time on the clock in traveling for work issues?
Thanks!
