Due to recent increases in the price of fuel, the IRS has increased the optional standard mileage rates for computing the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business, medical, and moving expense purposes for the second half of 2022. The standard mileage rate for computing the deductible costs of operating an automobile for charitable purposes is set by statute and remains unchanged.
For July 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022, the standard mileage rates are as follows:
Business use of auto
: Our Sysco clients may find this particularly beneficial. 62.5 cents per mile (up from 58.5 cents for January 1, 2022, to June 30, 2022) may be deducted if an auto is used for business purposes. As a Sysco employee, your employer from Sysco may reimburse you for your business travel expenses using the standard mileage rate. However, if Sysco does not reimburse you for your business travel expenses, you cannot currently deduct your unreimbursed travel expenses as miscellaneous itemized deductions.
Charitable use of auto
: 14 cents per mile (the same as for January 1, 2022, to June 30, 2022) may be deducted if an auto is used to provide services to a charitable organization if you itemize deductions on your income tax return. We'd like our clients from Sysco to note that your charitable deduction may be limited to certain percentages of your adjusted gross income, depending on the type of charity.
Medical use of auto
: 22 cents per mile (up from 18 cents for January 1, 2022, to June 30, 2022) may be deducted if an auto is used to obtain medical care (or for other deductible medical reasons) if you itemize deductions on your income tax return. It's also important that our Sysco clients note that you can deduct only the part of your medical and dental expenses that exceed 7.5% of the amount of your adjusted gross income.
Moving expense
: 22 cents per mile (up from 18 cents for January 1, 2022, to June 30, 2022) may be deducted if an auto is used by a member of the Armed Forces on active duty to move, pursuant to a military order, to a permanent change of station (unless such expenses are reimbursed). The deduction for moving expenses is not currently available for other taxpayers.
The IRS normally updates the standard mileage rates once a year in the fall for the next calendar year. Mid-year increases in the standard mileage rates are rare — the last time the IRS made such an increase was in 2011.

Layoffs and Restructuring: In 2024, Sysco implemented layoffs across various departments without publicly detailing the reasons. This follows similar restructuring efforts in previous years aimed at improving financial performance amidst economic challenges and rising supply chain costs (Sources: Peek Career, Layoff Insider). Union Strike: In early 2023, union workers at Sysco's Indianapolis distribution hub went on strike, demanding better wages, benefits, and shorter working hours. This labor unrest highlights ongoing challenges in employee relations and operational disruptions (Source: WBOI). Financial Performance: Despite the layoffs, Sysco reported strong financial health in 2024, with initiatives to enhance core business operations, invest in infrastructure like new distribution centers, and expand its electric vehicle fleet (Source: Sysco).
Sysco includes RSUs in its compensation packages, vesting over a specific period and converting into shares. Stock options are also provided, enabling employees to purchase shares at a predetermined price.
Sysco has made several significant updates to its healthcare benefits over the past few years, reflecting the company's commitment to supporting employee well-being amidst rising healthcare costs. For 2023, Sysco maintained stable premiums for medical, dental, and vision plans for non-union employees despite the general trend of increasing healthcare costs. Additionally, Sysco expanded its benefits to include domestic partner coverage across all Health & Welfare plans, such as medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and critical illness coverage. These changes highlight Sysco's efforts to adapt to the evolving needs of its workforce and ensure comprehensive coverage for employees and their families. In 2024, Sysco introduced several enhancements, including increased contribution limits for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). The HSA limit for individual coverage rose to $4,150, while family coverage increased to $8,300, with catch-up contributions allowed for those 55 and older. The FSA limit also saw an increase, allowing employees to save up to $3,200. Sysco continues to offer various wellness programs, such as Headspace for mental health and Bloom for pelvic health, reflecting a holistic approach to employee well-being. These updates are particularly crucial in the current economic, investment, tax, and political environment, where healthcare costs and access are major concerns for employees.
