    This really depends on the company and your policies. If this errand was work specific and not just a favor, it should be expensed. It may also be required by law depending on the state your company operates. If the employee is asking for compensation, you may also want to consult your lawyer just to make see if you are legally bound to do so.

      It all depends on the employer. If you are required to drive for your job, it should be tax deductible just as being required to wear a certain uniform is. The employer may chose to reimburse you for driving but is not required to.

      usually the employee just works in the office on occasion I have them drop/pick up plans for me. It is not requisite for them to drive for work.

        You asked them to do it therefore you do have to pay.  Why should they be out of pocket?  Being on hourly pay does not affect the rights and wrongs of this.

        If is it business related, yes. Please go the www.irs.gov and look up the federal laws.
