scope
The law also applies to employees of the federal administration via the reference in Section 44 (1) of the collective agreement for the public service (TVöD) - special section on administration .
For civil servants, judges and public employees outside the federal administration , separate travel expense laws of the individual federal states apply in some cases. For employees in the area of the collective agreement for the public sector in the country (TV-L) Reference is made to the rules applicable to officials of the employer on § 23rd The application of the BRKG is partly regulated in the civil service laws of some federal states (e.g. Schleswig-Holstein), so that ultimately the BRKG also applies to employees within the framework of the TV-L.
Travel expenses reimbursement for sick trips
Via the reference from Section 60, Paragraph 3, No. 4 of Book Five of the Social Security Code, the Federal Travel Expenses Act is also authoritative for the reimbursement of the costs of hospital trips if the insured person uses a private vehicle or is transported in one. The reimbursement of travel expenses is EUR 0.20 per kilometer, with a maximum of EUR 120.00. A higher reimbursement of travel expenses in accordance with Section 5 (2) sentence 1 BRKG is not possible.
