If he were in any state but CA or MA he'd be flat out of luck if his employer refused to pay mileage at all.

Agreed if we are talking state law/regulations/rules. However small claims court sometimes will enforce company policy in all states. In fact small claims court sometimes just pull the rules out of the air (or some body part). When I was at a fraternity, we had a cook who wanted a raise, and then start serving uncooked and seriously unprepared food when he did not get it. We fired him. Perfectly legal firing. We had paid his normal rate for all hours worked, even though he did not really work all those hours. We just wanted him gone. He was not that good a cook when he was not taking a job action. He wanted a big severance payment, took us to small claims court and got it, even though there is nothing in CA or federal law to support this action. Small claim courts sometimes look a lot like Wheel of Fortune. I would not assume that all small claims courts are pro-employee however. More like a random outcome generator.
