AutoReimbursement.com: Fixed and Variable FAVR Plans

There are many jobs that require employees of many companies to move around on a regular basis. Most organizations outsource the crucial work of managing business travel plans of their employees because it is simply not feasible to administer it without help. Another way businesses handle this is by providing travel reimbursement.

Businesses that require employees to travel by car do this more often than those who have employees taking flights. Such businesses provide in-house taxable reimbursements or offer other types of reimbursement plans that end up either over-reimbursing or under-reimbursing their employees. Hence, there is a need for a solution to keep track of the spending on vehicle-related expenses to mitigate this challenge.

Founded in 2009, AutoReimbursement.com offers the plan business needs as an answer to this problem. The company provides IRS-approved Fixed and Variable Rate (FAVR) reimbursement to the employees by keeping track on annual business mileage, maintenance costs incurred by the driver, and location-specific fuel costs.

AutoReimbursement is the exclusive TEAMS FAVR partner with MileIQ, a Microsoft Company, bringing more control on company spend with automated mileage collection.

The company taps into 30 million data points to come up with data according to business mileage and ensures that the employee receives a fair reimbursement. The reimbursement is non-taxed and does not need W2 reporting if compliant with the IRS. The company does this by providing top consulting, and a great set of management tools

The Solution for Businesses

Many studies conclude that mobile employees are the number two reason for costs incurred by companies. That makes it a big deal. But vehicle reimbursement is easier said than done as it has many moving parts as there are many fixed and variable costs to consider. AutoReimbursement.com ties all of that in a plan to identify the types of expenditures from its intelligence database (IRS approved).

A Transformed Approach

Auto Reimbursement.com is the fastest-growing company in the space with 35% growth. But this growth is backed by a great vision that is helping the company evolve its offerings as technology moves forward.

“We saw a need for mobile employees to have a 100% mobile platform, not just one or two things to do from a smart device. From there we said; why not provide a complete mobile program for all users in the platform,” says Doherty. “Then we took it a step forward, and invented the only all mobile program for employees, administrators, and executives.”

They can access every part of the robust software program in the cloud from any smart device as it is a one integrated program. “Only program that provides the same all mobile access to our employees, for the CIO, this is one of our many innovations, providing customer support tools to our staff, 100% mobile,” says Doherty.

Admin and executive to make a FAVR plan easier to use. The platform has been developed completely in-house and enables employee onboarding in just one second (top in the industry).
