July 5, 2009

In case you weren't keeping up with your reading, the latest It News-40 released on June 11, 2009, has a significant adjustments to employee benefit policies:

Administrative Policy Changes for Taxable Employment Benefits
to reduce a number of administrative difficulties and increase fairness include:

•Overtime Meals and Allowances Provided to Employees
•Municipality or Metropolitan Area
•Loyalty Programs
•Employer Provided Motor Vehicles Required to be Taken Home at Night
•Non-cash Gifts and Non-cash Awards
•Surface Transit Passes Provided to Family Members of Transit Employees

but I don't see any shift in how Km logs are to move to a sampler. Finance indicated they would study such a move in the budget last year and there is a committee studying the matter, but no change in policy that I've seen.
