Will I get paid travel allowance? When do I get paid for travel?

Travel allowance applies only for the times you are transporting a client in your car.

For example, if you are driving your client in your car to a therapist appointment, or somewhere related to their therapy plan like a gym, swimming pool or a social event/ activity.

Travel allowance is $0.99 per kilometer travelled. This is paid on top of your hourly wage to compensate you for fuel and wear & tear on your car. It will be delivered to you with your usual pay.

Travel allowance is not provided for the times that you are driving to and from the client’s house.
