Expenses
This policy is intended as a guide to reimbursing individuals for business-related travel and
expenditures. Dickinson College (the “College”) will reimburse faculty and staff for expenses
incurred in the performance of their job duties or other assigned responsibilities relating to
appropriate College-related operations.
The responsibility to observe these guidelines rests with the employee, supervisor/Budget Officer
and the senior officer who certifies conformance to these guidelines (or reasonable exceptions to
guidelines) by approving the expenditure(s). Accordingly, reimbursement should be sought and
authorized for only reasonable and customary expenses, which conform to College policy. The
burden of determining whether a particular expense is reimbursable rests with each individual prior
to incurring the expense.
Responsibility
This policy is necessary in order to ensure institutional compliance with federal tax law and what the
IRS prescribes under their “accountable plan” rules. The IRS requires that accountable plans include
all three of the following elements:
• Expenses must be business related;
Policy/Procedure
Author H.A.FVisit my blog
Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page
• There must be adequate reporting by the employee to the employer of the amount, time, use,
and business purpose of these expenses, within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed
sixty days). Original receipts must be attached to the report; and
• Excess cash advances or reimbursements must be returned within fifteen days after
completion of the trip.
Failure to comply with these requirements could result in an employee having to report as personal
income, the costs incurred by the College for his or her business related travel and/or expenses.
Adherence to these policies and procedures will ensure consistent and fair treatment among
departments throughout the College and the uniform reporting of financial results. In general, the
quality of travel, accommodations, entertainment, and related expenses should be governed by what
is reasonable and appropriate.
Approval Process
As required by senior management of the College, all travel and memberships must be approved in
advance by a senior officer.
The authorization documentation requirements at the time of payment are as follows:
• Purchasing Cards – Monthly reconciliations require the review and approval by the
cardholder’s supervisor/Budget Officer on the Purchasing Card Reconciliation Envelope.
When travel or membership charges are made on Purchasing Cards, the reconciliation
envelope also requires the approval of the senior officer. It is the responsibility of the
cardholder and supervisor/Budget Officer, to ensure the senior officer has approved all travel
and memberships charged to the Purchasing Card.
• Reimbursements – Reimbursements for travel must be recorded on the Dickinson College
Expense Reimbursement Form. Each expense report must be signed by the individual
incurring the expenses (traveler), his/her Department Head and the senior officer of the
division.
• Travel Advances – Payment Vouchers requesting a travel advance must be signed by the
traveler’s supervisor/Budget Officer. Travel advances are limited to $100 per trip for
domestic travel (Cashier’s Office) and $300 per trip for foreign travel (Accounts Payable),
and should only be used when cash is required and use of the Purchasing Card is not feasible.
Authorization by oneself or for one’s relative is not acceptable under any circumstances. If the
payment is for a supervisor/Budget Officer, approval by the senior officer of the division is required.
The President or another senior officer approves payments to senior officers.

In documenting travel expenses, the following applies:
• Traveler responsibilities are to:
o Complete and sign the expense report (or Purchasing Card statement) with all
necessary supporting documentation attached.
o Determine that the amounts requested are reasonable and conform to expense
guidelines.
o Provide the 20-digit budget account number(s) to be charged
o Forward the expense report (or Purchasing Card statement) to the appropriate
supervisor/department head
• Supervisor/department head responsibilities are to:
o Review expenses submitted for reasonableness within expense guidelines and
business purposes of such expenses
o Determine that all information requested on the expense report (or Purchasing Card
statement) has been completed and the preparer has signed the report
o Verify that the account number(s) to be charged is appropriate, and that sufficient
budget funds are available
o Sign (approve) the expense report (or Purchasing Card statement), obtain approval
from the senior officer, and forward the expense report (or Purchasing Card
statement) to Financial Operations.
Travel and Business Expense Guidelines
These guidelines apply to College faculty and staff who incur travel or business expenses to be paid
by the College, regardless of the source of funds. The College will reimburse for reasonable travel,
meals, lodging and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the transaction of College business. Expenses
incurred by spouses or others who accompany employees on College business are not reimbursed
unless they have been specifically approved prior to the trip by a senior officer. Payments for non-
business travel by spouses may also result in taxable income to the employee.
The College recognizes that due to the level of expertise and reputation of its faculty and staff,
requests are made from outside entities for many faculty and staff (“invitees”) to engage in activities,
such as speaking engagements, which require the invitee to incur travel and related expenses. Any
honoraria or other payments received by the invitee must be used to reimburse the College for travel
and related expenses charged to the College. Employee travel expenses relating to non-College
business activities are considered the personal responsibility of the employee and should not be
charged to the College.
As a non-profit educational institution, the College is generally exempt from the payment of sales
and use tax in several states, including Pennsylvania. Sales tax exemption certificates are available
on the Financial Operations website at
(http://www.dickinson.edu/info/20082/financial_operations/1344/sales_tax_exemption) and should
be presented to vendors when traveling in, or purchasing from a vendor located in, any one of the
states noted on the website.

Guidelines are provided in general terms to allow reasonable discretion for travelers. Departments
may implement more restrictive guidelines with which departmental personnel should adhere.
Budget Officers and/or senior officers can make exceptions to these guidelines in the event of
extenuating circumstances. However a written explanation should be included with the request for
reimbursement. The guidelines that follow were written to ensure that business and travel expense
reimbursements remain tax-free to the employee.
1. Air Travel
The travel agencies listed at the end of this document have been instructed to provide the lowest fare
consistent with this guideline. On-line travel services may be used if rates are more economical.
a. Travelers must book the lowest priced, direct, coach class airfare available on a commercial
carrier (see additional requirements below if supported by federal funding). Any deviations
must be justified and approved in advance.
b. A trip may be extended to take advantage of cost savings. For example, if a conference is
scheduled for Sunday through Wednesday, it may be more cost-effective to fly on Saturday
and pay for the extra day’s lodging and meals. Arrangements must be approved by the
Budget Officer, and the traveler must document the cost-benefit of extended travel.
c. The cost of any deviation from the original itinerary for personal reasons is the traveler’s
responsibility and will not be reimbursed.
d. Flight insurance purchased by employees is not typically a reimbursable expense.
Information about the College’s standard travel accident insurance benefits for employees on
College business can be obtained by contacting the Director of Enterprise Risk Management.
2. Other Forms of Travel
Local taxi fares and shuttles to and from the airports and railroad stations are reimbursable. At the
destination, airport or hotel limousine, bus or taxi service is to be used in lieu of car rental whenever
it is less costly to do so.
The College will reimburse individuals for other forms of travel for business purposes, including but
not limited to train, bus, and subway.
3. Global Medical Insurance for International Travel
Global medical insurance is available for all faculty, staff, and students traveling internationally on
behalf of the college. This coverage also extends to any legal dependents traveling with a faculty or
staff member on a college related trip, including trips for scholarly research. This coverage includes
benefits for emergency medical, medical and security evacuation, and repatriation. To request
coverage, please visit the Compliance & Enterprise Risk Management page and fill in the
international travel request form. Questions about this insurance may be directed to the Director of
Compliance & Enterprise Risk Management.
4. Car Rental

The travel agencies listed at the end of this document have been instructed to provide the lowest fare
consistent with this guideline. On-line travel services may be used if rates are more economical.
The use of a rented automobile is usually justified in the following situations:
• When public transportation is inadequate, and a College or personally owned automobile is
not available for travel to the business meeting or conference.
• When an automobile is the only practical mode of travel to a destination, e.g., a meeting or
conference location is remote to an air or rail terminal.
Two or more employees traveling on the same schedule from the point of origin to the same
destination should share a rented automobile. Rental vehicles may be driven only by the authorized
renter (person signing the rental agreement, traveler’s spouse or a person who has appeared at the
time of the rental and has signed the vehicle rental agreement). The College expects all travelers to
read, understand and abide by the vehicle rental agreement terms.
The use of a rental car for personal purposes is not reimbursable under any circumstances. If a rental
car is used for both business and personal purposes, only the portion of the car rental applicable to
business should be charged to the College. Fuel costs will be reimbursed based upon actual fuel
purchased, not mileage.
Automobiles must be rented, in most cases, in the basic intermediate size class. The traveler should
also ask if there is a corporate rate available. Rental cars are to be returned with a full tank of gas
whenever possible.
5. Car Rental Collision Damage Waiver and Personal Accident Insurance
The College carries blanket liability insurance covering all employees during business travel.
Therefore, when asked, the employee should deny coverage for collision damage and personal
accident insurance (unless traveling outside of the U.S. and Canada). In the case of an accident, the
employee must contact the Public Safety for instructions on how to process any claim which may
arise. A police report and any other information must be obtained so that claim information can be
completed.
6. Use of a Personal Car
The employee’s supervisor is responsible for monitoring compliance with reimbursement policies
regarding use of personal vehicles.
a. When possible, College fleet vehicles should be used in place of personal vehicles.
5
Author H.A.FVisit my blog
Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page
b. Use of a personal car for business travel will be reimbursed at a rate not in excess (at or
below) of the rate established by the IRS, plus toll and parking charges. The IRS rate for
standard auto expenses is subject to periodic revision by the IRS and can be found on the
Dickinson College Expense Reimbursement Form. This rate is intended to offset expenses
such as gasoline, oil, repairs, insurance, etc., for operating and maintaining a personal
automobile used for business purposes. Operating and maintenance expenses, therefore, as
well as personal expenses such as parking tickets, traffic violations, car repairs and collision
damage, are not reimbursable. However, the College’s blanket liability insurance does cover
third party liability when a personal auto is used for College business.
c. Travel between the College and home (commuting) is not a business expense.
d. If an employee does not report to the College, but travels directly to another location, he/she
will be reimbursed for the mileage in excess of what would normally be traveled between the
home and College as follows:
• Determine the total number of business-related miles traveled during the day,
beginning and ending at your residence.
• Subtract from that total your base mileage (normal commuting distance) when
making a round trip between your residence and your assigned office.
• The difference is your allowable reimbursed miles. Documentation for reimbursed
mileage amounts must include the above calculation, destination and business
purpose.
7. College Owned or Leased Automobiles
Leased or College-owned vehicles are tagged, issued and maintained by the College. When using a
College vehicle for business travel, expenses will be reimbursed for the actual costs paid by the
traveler (tolls, parking, etc.), not at the mileage rate. When using a College vehicle, the traveler
should use the gas card provided with the vehicle (NOTE: Sheetz gas cards are not limited to Sheetz
locations).
The use of the College’s fleet vehicles is preferred when traveling on College business. Fleet
vehicles can be scheduled through the Office of Public Safety. A valid U.S. driver’s license is
required and only the requesting and approved employee may operate the vehicle. A per mile
amount, as determined by the Office of Public Safety, will be charged back to each department for
use of the vehicle.
8. Meal and Business Expenses
The College will reimburse travelers for reasonable meal expenses (breakfast, lunch and dinner)
incurred while traveling on or conducting College business. As with other expenditures, original
receipts must be submitted with expense reports. Employees are expected to use discretion
regarding food and beverage costs incurred.
Entertainment by College employees is discouraged, and must be used judiciously and only in those
cases where there is a business purpose to be served. Alcoholic beverages should not be charged to
6

the College, except as appropriate to meetings related to fund raising, relationship cultivation,
business meetings with non-staff guests and other business purposes as approved by a senior officer.
a. Original receipts must be submitted as support for expenses. Photocopies of invoices, credit
card statements, receipts or restaurant stubs are not acceptable unless the original document
was lost and a signed memorandum is attached to the expense report giving full explanation
of the circumstances.
b. Itemized receipts should be submitted in place of summarized receipts in order to provide
adequate documentation for supervisor/Budget Officer’s review.
c. When more than one College employee is present at a “business meal event”, the most senior
employee should pick up the tab. An individual may not approve business meals or
entertainment expenses when he or she also attended the event.
d. The Internal Revenue Code requires specific details for business meal expenses. These
details must be provided with the expense documentation:
• Amount
• Date
• Name and location of establishment
• Place and nature of entertainment
• Purpose, including the nature of discussion
• Names, titles and business relationships of all attending
e. Local luncheon expenses and one-day travel
• Local lunch expenses are normally not reimbursable unless there is a business
purpose for a lunch. Requests for reimbursement must include explanations of the
need for special consideration. A business purpose would generally include non-
College personnel. Dining among College employees is generally a personal expense
and not reimbursable.
• Lunch expenses are reimbursable during one-day travel and employees are expected
to use discretion regarding food and beverage costs incurred. In limited cases,
breakfast and dinner expenses will be reimbursed when employees are traveling
during extended business hours.
f. Expenses of spouses or other family members: In general, expenses incurred by a spouse or
other member of an employee’s family (or other non-business associates), are not
reimbursable. Exceptions may be made in business entertainment situations that require the
spouse to be present. Such circumstances should always be approved in advance, and should
be documented on the expense report.
g. Travelers supported by federal funding must understand that federal per diem rates for
lodging, meals and incidentals provide the maximum that may be reimbursed per day. Rates
vary based on location. Additionally, federal regulations prohibit the purchase of any
alcoholic beverage if reimbursement is to be made from federal funds. See section on
federally funded travel below for additional information.
9. Lodging
7
Author H.A.FVisit my blog
Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page
The travel agencies listed at the end of this document have been instructed to provide the lowest fare
consistent with this guideline. On-line travel services may be used if rates are more economical.
a. The College will pay actual room costs, as supported by the detailed hotel bill, for each day
that lodging away from home is required for business purposes. Hotel and motel
accommodations must be in the mid-price range for the geographic location. Acceptable
hotel accommodations would include those at large national chains oriented to business
travelers. Hotel charges should generally be prepaid by the College. If paid by the
employee, reimbursement will be made for the amounts shown on the detailed bill. Charges
other than room and taxes (i.e., telephone, room service charges, movies, etc.) should be
separated and not included in lodging expenses on the expense report. Itemized hotel bills
must be documented on the expense report and the bill must be attached.
b. The College is exempt from sales tax (but not hotel occupancy tax, as in Pennsylvania) in
several states. The appropriate exemption form should be completed by the traveler and
presented to the front desk upon arrival. Upon departure, the itemized bill should be reviewed
to verify that the sales tax was not charged. Please review the status of the College’s
exemption certificates on the Financial Operations website at
http://www.dickinson.edu/info/20082/financial_operations/1344/sales_tax_exemption.
c. Room Rates: Hotel room rates can vary widely depending upon geographic locations.
Employees must use discretion in selecting hotels and generally must request single
occupancy or other economical room types. Suites or higher-priced rooms are not considered
necessary accommodations.
d. Expenses of Spouses or Other Family Members: No reimbursements will be made for
expenses incurred by a spouse or other family member (or other non-business associate)
unless there is a legitimate business purpose. An employee traveling with a spouse or other
family member (or non-business associate) must request reimbursement for the single room
rate when the hotel bill indicates double occupancy.
e. Travelers supported by federal funding must understand that federal per diem rates for
lodging, meals and incidentals provide the maximum that may be reimbursed per day. Rates
vary according to location. See section on federally funded travel below for additional
information.
10. Conferences and Professional Meetings
The conference agenda (meeting schedule) should be included with the expense report to support the
business purpose of the trip. It is understood that travelers may stay at the conference hotel when
attending a conference, even though it may not be the most economical option available. If meals are
included in the conference fee, but the traveler chooses to eat elsewhere, the expenses are not
reimbursable.
11. Miscellaneous Expenses
The following are examples of other expenses that may be incurred in the normal course of business
travel:
8
Author H.A.FVisit my blog
Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page
a. Telephone and internet: Telephone and internet charges incurred while traveling will be
reimbursed when such costs relate directly to College business. Documentation of business
purpose is required. The College will reimburse employees for one “unspecified” call home
each day. The necessity for frequent calls must be documented. Telephone and internet
charges on hotel bills submitted for reimbursement must be documented on the expense
report.
b. Laundry (dry cleaning, etc.) and valet services, unless travel is over 7 consecutive days, are
not reimbursable.
c. Tips: Tips are reimbursable for normal services associated with business travel such as food,
services, porters, etc. Tips included on meal receipts will be reimbursed. Tips must be
reasonable (not to exceed 20%), and any unusual amounts must be explained.
d. Subscription & membership in professional and other organizations: These expenses must
relate to College business, be approved in advance, and paid by the College.
e. Employee recruitment: Travel for prospective employees and their families must be
authorized by the hiring department in order to be reimbursed. Reimbursements for
authorized travel expenses such as airfare, hotel and meals incurred during the recruitment
process are not taxable to the prospective employee. Prospective employees are not covered
by College insurance. Once an offer of employment has been accepted, travel expenses
incurred by the prospective employee and family and paid by the College are considered
taxable, aside from an allowance for moving expenses in accordance with the Internal
Revenue Code.
f. International travel: Reimbursable international expenses include expenditures incurred for
travel, personal meals, business meals and entertainment, lodging, passport fees, airport
taxes, exchange rate fees, and other items necessary for the conduct of College business.
Expense reports must be submitted in US dollars with an explanation and translation of the
foreign receipts and their conversions. Travelers must use the currency rates that were in
effect when travel took place.
12. Expenses Not Reimbursable by the College
The following is presented only as a guide and is not intended to be a complete list of expenses
which are not reimbursable by the College.
• Airline, car rental and travel insurance in addition to the amount provided through the
College.
• Portion of air travel, train travel, auto rental, mileage, hotel costs, or meals for personal use.
• Upgrades for air travel, hotel or car rental.
• Traffic fines, court costs, parking violations, and personal auto repairs.
• Transportation from home to office to home.
• Unused room reservations not properly cancelled.
9
Author H.A.FVisit my blog
Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page
• Alcoholic beverages, except as appropriate to meetings related to fund raising, relationship
cultivation, business meetings with non-staff guests and other business purposes as approved
by a senior officer.
• Annual premiums for personal property insurance, or annual fees for personal credit cards
including liability insurance for lost cards.
• Theft, loss or damage to non business-related personal property not covered by one of the
College’s insurance policies.
• Personal expenses such as movies, snacks, haircuts, reading materials, toiletries, etc.
• Membership dues, including airline club dues and country club dues, unless authorized by an
appropriate authority.
• Baby sitter fees, kennel costs, pet or house-sitting fees.
• Doctor bills, prescriptions and other medical services.
• Monthly Internet line charges from an employee’s personal residence will not be reimbursed
unless appropriate business purpose is documented and approved by a senior officer.
• Spouse or other companion travel expenses, when the spouse or other companion’s presence
is not required by the College.
• Cellular or airphone usage (except when documented with appropriate business purpose).
• Personal credit card delinquency fees or finance charges.
• Saunas, massages or exercise facilities.
• Sales taxes paid when exemptions are available. Exemptions are typically available on retail
purchases and in the consumption, rental or use of tangible personal property when traveling
on behalf of the College in certain states. Further information on exemptions can be found
on the Financial Operations web site at
http://www.dickinson.edu/info/20082/financial_operations/1344/sales_tax_exemption.
Travel Advances
In many states, vendors will only honor the tax-exempt status of the College when College funds are
used to pay for travel expenses (e.g. direct invoice, use of Purchasing Card). Travel advances should
only be used when cash is required and the use of a College Purchasing Card is not feasible. Loaner
Purchasing Cards are available in Financial Operations for infrequent use. A travel advance will not
be issued for lodging, conference fees, or other substantial costs that can be prepaid, prearranged or
invoiced.
Travel advances given to directors of short-term (up to six weeks) study-abroad and domestic
programs constitute an exception to the travel advance policy. Accounting for these advances,
including any foreign currency wired in advance to the program site, is part of the program director’s
10

Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page
final budget report submitted to the Office of Global Education and reviewed by Financial
Operations at the conclusion of the program. For further information regarding travel as part of a
short-term study abroad program, consult the Office of Global Education. Additional information is
also included in the Office of Global Education’s Policies and Procedures Manual for Overseas
Directors.
Completing the Request for Travel Advance
Authorization of a travel advance should be documented on the Payment Voucher in accordance
with the approval process noted under “Expense Reimbursement Form” below. The request should
be submitted at least seven (7), but no more than twenty-one (21), days prior to the departure date.
Travelers may request an advance up to $100 in cash for domestic travel in the Cashier’s Office or
up to $300 for foreign travel in Accounts Payable via check. Last-minute requests and requests over
the stated thresholds are subject to approval and availability of College funds.
Responsibility of Traveler after the Trip
After travel is complete, an approved Dickinson College Expense Reimbursement Form must be
submitted to the Cashier’s Office (or Accounts Payable if the advance was received via check),
along with all receipts and unused funds.
A travel advance will be held as a receivable from the traveler until supporting documentation has
been received. A travel advance must be settled promptly (generally within 15 working days after
completion of the trip), and before other advances or reimbursements are requested.
Failure to account for a travel advance within 60 days may result in:
• The suspension of travel advance privileges.
• Taxable income added to the employee’s W-2.
Expense Reimbursement Form
A properly completed and approved Dickinson College Expense Reimbursement Form is required
for requesting reimbursements or reconciling advances related to College travel and business
expenses.
The purpose of the expense report is to provide a means for faculty and staff to seek reimbursement
from the College for travel and business expenses, and to give supervisors/Budget Officers and
senior staff the opportunity to fully review these expenditures. In addition, the format of the expense
report is intended to provide evidence of compliance with Internal Revenue Service reporting
requirements.
11
Author H.A.FVisit my blog
Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page
Support for Expenses
Original documents must be submitted as support for expenses. Photocopies of invoices, credit card
statements or record of charge slips accompanying the monthly billing statement, receipts or
restaurant stubs are not acceptable unless the original document was lost and a signed memorandum
is attached to the expense report giving a full explanation of the circumstances.
A receipt is defined as a written acknowledgement that a specified remittance, article or delivery has
been made. At a minimum, the name of the payee and guest(s), date and amount should appear on
the receipt. Itemized receipts should be submitted in place of summarized receipts, in order to allow
for adequate supervisor/budget officer review. If a receipt includes non-allowable items, such as a
meal for an accompanying spouse, the traveler must indicate which items are allowable and note the
reimbursable total on the receipt.
Any unusual items or special circumstances causing a policy deviation must be fully explained on an
attached signed and approved memorandum.
The expense report must be signed by the traveler and submitted to the supervisor/budget officer
with a copy of the properly approved travel advance Payment Voucher, if applicable.
Frequency of Submission
An approved expense report must be submitted with all appropriate documentation within 15
working days after the later of the completion of the trip or the date expenses were incurred.
Expense reports submitted more than 60 days after expenses are incurred may not be processed.
Signatures
All expense reports require the original signature of the employee, Department Head and senior
officer of the division. Expense reports of senior officers are approved by either the President or
another senior officer.
Processing the Expense Report
Properly completed and approved expense reports should be forwarded to Financial Operations as
follows:
• Reimbursement requests up to $100 and return of unused funds – Cashier’s Office
• Reimbursement requests over $100 – Accounts Payable1
Purchasing Card
1
Direct deposit is available for employees who complete the Direct Deposit Authorization Form in advance of their
reimbursement request
12
Author H.A.FVisit my blog
Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page
The College provides Purchasing Cards to employees who travel frequently and/or purchase goods
on a regular basis. A Purchasing Card is issued based on the approval of a departmental Budget
Officer or senior officer. Further detail on policies and procedures relating to Purchasing Cards can
be found at
http://www.dickinson.edu/info/20082/financial_operations/1335/dickinson_purchasing_card.
The College encourages the use of Purchasing Cards when possible, in place of travel advances. In
addition to the decreased administrative burden associated with accounting for travel advances,
employees using Purchasing Cards receive added protection and benefits, including travel assistance.
Travel-related Purchasing Card charges will be accounted for with the College’s monthly Purchasing
Card statement rather than with the Dickinson College Expense Reimbursement Form.
Employees may not put non-allowable charges, either personal or those of an accompanying spouse
or other person, on the College Purchasing Cards even with the intent of reimbursing the College.
Federally Funded Travel
In addition to following the College’s guidelines and procedures, a traveler supported by federal
funding must also adhere to federal guidelines. Among the most common restrictions are:
• The purchase of alcoholic beverages with federal funds is prohibited.
• Airline travel must be booked on United States carriers at the lowest discounted commercial
rate. Further guidelines and explanations concerning the Fly America Act can be found at
http://www.tvlon.com/resources/FlyAct.html.
• Travelers supported by federal funds still must follow College guidelines on the use of
receipts and documentation as noted earlier in this brochure and will be reimbursed based on
actual expenses. Please note that federal per diem rates for lodging, meals and incidentals
provide the maximum that may be reimbursed per day. Rates differ by location. (Please refer
to IRS Publication 1542 found on www.irs.gov). When actual expenses exceed the
applicable per diem rate, travelers should find a non-federal source of funds to make up the
difference in order to receive a full reimbursement.
• More detailed information on federally-funded travel in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) Title 41 can be found at http://osr.unc.edu/documents/federal_travel.pdf or
http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_06/41cfrv4_06.html#301-1.
Employees whose travel is funded by a sponsored grant or contract must check in advance of the trip
with the Sponsored Project Group to ensure that all College and/or granting agency procedures and
restrictions are followed. Sponsors may impose procedures that are more restrictive than those of the
College. This includes internal funding such as travel supported by R&D and the Dean’s Faculty
Conference Fund (formerly known as the 1% fund). For more information please refer to

Travel and related_expenses

  • 1. Travel and Related Expenses This policy is intended as a guide to reimbursing individuals for business-related travel and expenditures. Dickinson College (the “College”) will reimburse faculty and staff for expenses incurred in the performance of their job duties or other assigned responsibilities relating to appropriate College-related operations. The responsibility to observe these guidelines rests with the employee, supervisor/Budget Officer and the senior officer who certifies conformance to these guidelines (or reasonable exceptions to guidelines) by approving the expenditure(s). Accordingly, reimbursement should be sought and authorized for only reasonable and customary expenses, which conform to College policy. The burden of determining whether a particular expense is reimbursable rests with each individual prior to incurring the expense. Responsibility This policy is necessary in order to ensure institutional compliance with federal tax law and what the IRS prescribes under their “accountable plan” rules. The IRS requires that accountable plans include all three of the following elements: • Expenses must be business related; Policy/Procedure
  • 2. Author H.A.FVisit my blog Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page • There must be adequate reporting by the employee to the employer of the amount, time, use, and business purpose of these expenses, within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed sixty days). Original receipts must be attached to the report; and • Excess cash advances or reimbursements must be returned within fifteen days after completion of the trip. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in an employee having to report as personal income, the costs incurred by the College for his or her business related travel and/or expenses. Adherence to these policies and procedures will ensure consistent and fair treatment among departments throughout the College and the uniform reporting of financial results. In general, the quality of travel, accommodations, entertainment, and related expenses should be governed by what is reasonable and appropriate. Approval Process As required by senior management of the College, all travel and memberships must be approved in advance by a senior officer. The authorization documentation requirements at the time of payment are as follows: • Purchasing Cards – Monthly reconciliations require the review and approval by the cardholder’s supervisor/Budget Officer on the Purchasing Card Reconciliation Envelope. When travel or membership charges are made on Purchasing Cards, the reconciliation envelope also requires the approval of the senior officer. It is the responsibility of the cardholder and supervisor/Budget Officer, to ensure the senior officer has approved all travel and memberships charged to the Purchasing Card. • Reimbursements – Reimbursements for travel must be recorded on the Dickinson College Expense Reimbursement Form. Each expense report must be signed by the individual incurring the expenses (traveler), his/her Department Head and the senior officer of the division. • Travel Advances – Payment Vouchers requesting a travel advance must be signed by the traveler’s supervisor/Budget Officer. Travel advances are limited to $100 per trip for domestic travel (Cashier’s Office) and $300 per trip for foreign travel (Accounts Payable), and should only be used when cash is required and use of the Purchasing Card is not feasible. Authorization by oneself or for one’s relative is not acceptable under any circumstances. If the payment is for a supervisor/Budget Officer, approval by the senior officer of the division is required. The President or another senior officer approves payments to senior officers. 2
  • 3. Author H.A.FVisit my blog Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page In documenting travel expenses, the following applies: • Traveler responsibilities are to: o Complete and sign the expense report (or Purchasing Card statement) with all necessary supporting documentation attached. o Determine that the amounts requested are reasonable and conform to expense guidelines. o Provide the 20-digit budget account number(s) to be charged o Forward the expense report (or Purchasing Card statement) to the appropriate supervisor/department head • Supervisor/department head responsibilities are to: o Review expenses submitted for reasonableness within expense guidelines and business purposes of such expenses o Determine that all information requested on the expense report (or Purchasing Card statement) has been completed and the preparer has signed the report o Verify that the account number(s) to be charged is appropriate, and that sufficient budget funds are available o Sign (approve) the expense report (or Purchasing Card statement), obtain approval from the senior officer, and forward the expense report (or Purchasing Card statement) to Financial Operations. Travel and Business Expense Guidelines These guidelines apply to College faculty and staff who incur travel or business expenses to be paid by the College, regardless of the source of funds. The College will reimburse for reasonable travel, meals, lodging and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the transaction of College business. Expenses incurred by spouses or others who accompany employees on College business are not reimbursed unless they have been specifically approved prior to the trip by a senior officer. Payments for non- business travel by spouses may also result in taxable income to the employee. The College recognizes that due to the level of expertise and reputation of its faculty and staff, requests are made from outside entities for many faculty and staff (“invitees”) to engage in activities, such as speaking engagements, which require the invitee to incur travel and related expenses. Any honoraria or other payments received by the invitee must be used to reimburse the College for travel and related expenses charged to the College. Employee travel expenses relating to non-College business activities are considered the personal responsibility of the employee and should not be charged to the College. As a non-profit educational institution, the College is generally exempt from the payment of sales and use tax in several states, including Pennsylvania. Sales tax exemption certificates are available on the Financial Operations website at (http://www.dickinson.edu/info/20082/financial_operations/1344/sales_tax_exemption) and should be presented to vendors when traveling in, or purchasing from a vendor located in, any one of the states noted on the website. 3
  • 4. Author H.A.FVisit my blog Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page Guidelines are provided in general terms to allow reasonable discretion for travelers. Departments may implement more restrictive guidelines with which departmental personnel should adhere. Budget Officers and/or senior officers can make exceptions to these guidelines in the event of extenuating circumstances. However a written explanation should be included with the request for reimbursement. The guidelines that follow were written to ensure that business and travel expense reimbursements remain tax-free to the employee. 1. Air Travel The travel agencies listed at the end of this document have been instructed to provide the lowest fare consistent with this guideline. On-line travel services may be used if rates are more economical. a. Travelers must book the lowest priced, direct, coach class airfare available on a commercial carrier (see additional requirements below if supported by federal funding). Any deviations must be justified and approved in advance. b. A trip may be extended to take advantage of cost savings. For example, if a conference is scheduled for Sunday through Wednesday, it may be more cost-effective to fly on Saturday and pay for the extra day’s lodging and meals. Arrangements must be approved by the Budget Officer, and the traveler must document the cost-benefit of extended travel. c. The cost of any deviation from the original itinerary for personal reasons is the traveler’s responsibility and will not be reimbursed. d. Flight insurance purchased by employees is not typically a reimbursable expense. Information about the College’s standard travel accident insurance benefits for employees on College business can be obtained by contacting the Director of Enterprise Risk Management. 2. Other Forms of Travel Local taxi fares and shuttles to and from the airports and railroad stations are reimbursable. At the destination, airport or hotel limousine, bus or taxi service is to be used in lieu of car rental whenever it is less costly to do so. The College will reimburse individuals for other forms of travel for business purposes, including but not limited to train, bus, and subway. 3. Global Medical Insurance for International Travel Global medical insurance is available for all faculty, staff, and students traveling internationally on behalf of the college. This coverage also extends to any legal dependents traveling with a faculty or staff member on a college related trip, including trips for scholarly research. This coverage includes benefits for emergency medical, medical and security evacuation, and repatriation. To request coverage, please visit the Compliance & Enterprise Risk Management page and fill in the international travel request form. Questions about this insurance may be directed to the Director of Compliance & Enterprise Risk Management. 4. Car Rental 4
  • 5. Author H.A.FVisit my blog Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page The travel agencies listed at the end of this document have been instructed to provide the lowest fare consistent with this guideline. On-line travel services may be used if rates are more economical. The use of a rented automobile is usually justified in the following situations: • When public transportation is inadequate, and a College or personally owned automobile is not available for travel to the business meeting or conference. • When an automobile is the only practical mode of travel to a destination, e.g., a meeting or conference location is remote to an air or rail terminal. Two or more employees traveling on the same schedule from the point of origin to the same destination should share a rented automobile. Rental vehicles may be driven only by the authorized renter (person signing the rental agreement, traveler’s spouse or a person who has appeared at the time of the rental and has signed the vehicle rental agreement). The College expects all travelers to read, understand and abide by the vehicle rental agreement terms. The use of a rental car for personal purposes is not reimbursable under any circumstances. If a rental car is used for both business and personal purposes, only the portion of the car rental applicable to business should be charged to the College. Fuel costs will be reimbursed based upon actual fuel purchased, not mileage. Automobiles must be rented, in most cases, in the basic intermediate size class. The traveler should also ask if there is a corporate rate available. Rental cars are to be returned with a full tank of gas whenever possible. 5. Car Rental Collision Damage Waiver and Personal Accident Insurance The College carries blanket liability insurance covering all employees during business travel. Therefore, when asked, the employee should deny coverage for collision damage and personal accident insurance (unless traveling outside of the U.S. and Canada). In the case of an accident, the employee must contact the Public Safety for instructions on how to process any claim which may arise. A police report and any other information must be obtained so that claim information can be completed. 6. Use of a Personal Car The employee’s supervisor is responsible for monitoring compliance with reimbursement policies regarding use of personal vehicles. a. When possible, College fleet vehicles should be used in place of personal vehicles. 5
  • 6. Author H.A.FVisit my blog Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page b. Use of a personal car for business travel will be reimbursed at a rate not in excess (at or below) of the rate established by the IRS, plus toll and parking charges. The IRS rate for standard auto expenses is subject to periodic revision by the IRS and can be found on the Dickinson College Expense Reimbursement Form. This rate is intended to offset expenses such as gasoline, oil, repairs, insurance, etc., for operating and maintaining a personal automobile used for business purposes. Operating and maintenance expenses, therefore, as well as personal expenses such as parking tickets, traffic violations, car repairs and collision damage, are not reimbursable. However, the College’s blanket liability insurance does cover third party liability when a personal auto is used for College business. c. Travel between the College and home (commuting) is not a business expense. d. If an employee does not report to the College, but travels directly to another location, he/she will be reimbursed for the mileage in excess of what would normally be traveled between the home and College as follows: • Determine the total number of business-related miles traveled during the day, beginning and ending at your residence. • Subtract from that total your base mileage (normal commuting distance) when making a round trip between your residence and your assigned office. • The difference is your allowable reimbursed miles. Documentation for reimbursed mileage amounts must include the above calculation, destination and business purpose. 7. College Owned or Leased Automobiles Leased or College-owned vehicles are tagged, issued and maintained by the College. When using a College vehicle for business travel, expenses will be reimbursed for the actual costs paid by the traveler (tolls, parking, etc.), not at the mileage rate. When using a College vehicle, the traveler should use the gas card provided with the vehicle (NOTE: Sheetz gas cards are not limited to Sheetz locations). The use of the College’s fleet vehicles is preferred when traveling on College business. Fleet vehicles can be scheduled through the Office of Public Safety. A valid U.S. driver’s license is required and only the requesting and approved employee may operate the vehicle. A per mile amount, as determined by the Office of Public Safety, will be charged back to each department for use of the vehicle. 8. Meal and Business Expenses The College will reimburse travelers for reasonable meal expenses (breakfast, lunch and dinner) incurred while traveling on or conducting College business. As with other expenditures, original receipts must be submitted with expense reports. Employees are expected to use discretion regarding food and beverage costs incurred. Entertainment by College employees is discouraged, and must be used judiciously and only in those cases where there is a business purpose to be served. Alcoholic beverages should not be charged to 6
  • 7. Author H.A.FVisit my blog Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page the College, except as appropriate to meetings related to fund raising, relationship cultivation, business meetings with non-staff guests and other business purposes as approved by a senior officer. a. Original receipts must be submitted as support for expenses. Photocopies of invoices, credit card statements, receipts or restaurant stubs are not acceptable unless the original document was lost and a signed memorandum is attached to the expense report giving full explanation of the circumstances. b. Itemized receipts should be submitted in place of summarized receipts in order to provide adequate documentation for supervisor/Budget Officer’s review. c. When more than one College employee is present at a “business meal event”, the most senior employee should pick up the tab. An individual may not approve business meals or entertainment expenses when he or she also attended the event. d. The Internal Revenue Code requires specific details for business meal expenses. These details must be provided with the expense documentation: • Amount • Date • Name and location of establishment • Place and nature of entertainment • Purpose, including the nature of discussion • Names, titles and business relationships of all attending e. Local luncheon expenses and one-day travel • Local lunch expenses are normally not reimbursable unless there is a business purpose for a lunch. Requests for reimbursement must include explanations of the need for special consideration. A business purpose would generally include non- College personnel. Dining among College employees is generally a personal expense and not reimbursable. • Lunch expenses are reimbursable during one-day travel and employees are expected to use discretion regarding food and beverage costs incurred. In limited cases, breakfast and dinner expenses will be reimbursed when employees are traveling during extended business hours. f. Expenses of spouses or other family members: In general, expenses incurred by a spouse or other member of an employee’s family (or other non-business associates), are not reimbursable. Exceptions may be made in business entertainment situations that require the spouse to be present. Such circumstances should always be approved in advance, and should be documented on the expense report. g. Travelers supported by federal funding must understand that federal per diem rates for lodging, meals and incidentals provide the maximum that may be reimbursed per day. Rates vary based on location. Additionally, federal regulations prohibit the purchase of any alcoholic beverage if reimbursement is to be made from federal funds. See section on federally funded travel below for additional information. 9. Lodging 7
  • 8. Author H.A.FVisit my blog Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page The travel agencies listed at the end of this document have been instructed to provide the lowest fare consistent with this guideline. On-line travel services may be used if rates are more economical. a. The College will pay actual room costs, as supported by the detailed hotel bill, for each day that lodging away from home is required for business purposes. Hotel and motel accommodations must be in the mid-price range for the geographic location. Acceptable hotel accommodations would include those at large national chains oriented to business travelers. Hotel charges should generally be prepaid by the College. If paid by the employee, reimbursement will be made for the amounts shown on the detailed bill. Charges other than room and taxes (i.e., telephone, room service charges, movies, etc.) should be separated and not included in lodging expenses on the expense report. Itemized hotel bills must be documented on the expense report and the bill must be attached. b. The College is exempt from sales tax (but not hotel occupancy tax, as in Pennsylvania) in several states. The appropriate exemption form should be completed by the traveler and presented to the front desk upon arrival. Upon departure, the itemized bill should be reviewed to verify that the sales tax was not charged. Please review the status of the College’s exemption certificates on the Financial Operations website at http://www.dickinson.edu/info/20082/financial_operations/1344/sales_tax_exemption. c. Room Rates: Hotel room rates can vary widely depending upon geographic locations. Employees must use discretion in selecting hotels and generally must request single occupancy or other economical room types. Suites or higher-priced rooms are not considered necessary accommodations. d. Expenses of Spouses or Other Family Members: No reimbursements will be made for expenses incurred by a spouse or other family member (or other non-business associate) unless there is a legitimate business purpose. An employee traveling with a spouse or other family member (or non-business associate) must request reimbursement for the single room rate when the hotel bill indicates double occupancy. e. Travelers supported by federal funding must understand that federal per diem rates for lodging, meals and incidentals provide the maximum that may be reimbursed per day. Rates vary according to location. See section on federally funded travel below for additional information. 10. Conferences and Professional Meetings The conference agenda (meeting schedule) should be included with the expense report to support the business purpose of the trip. It is understood that travelers may stay at the conference hotel when attending a conference, even though it may not be the most economical option available. If meals are included in the conference fee, but the traveler chooses to eat elsewhere, the expenses are not reimbursable. 11. Miscellaneous Expenses The following are examples of other expenses that may be incurred in the normal course of business travel: 8
  • 9. Author H.A.FVisit my blog Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page a. Telephone and internet: Telephone and internet charges incurred while traveling will be reimbursed when such costs relate directly to College business. Documentation of business purpose is required. The College will reimburse employees for one “unspecified” call home each day. The necessity for frequent calls must be documented. Telephone and internet charges on hotel bills submitted for reimbursement must be documented on the expense report. b. Laundry (dry cleaning, etc.) and valet services, unless travel is over 7 consecutive days, are not reimbursable. c. Tips: Tips are reimbursable for normal services associated with business travel such as food, services, porters, etc. Tips included on meal receipts will be reimbursed. Tips must be reasonable (not to exceed 20%), and any unusual amounts must be explained. d. Subscription & membership in professional and other organizations: These expenses must relate to College business, be approved in advance, and paid by the College. e. Employee recruitment: Travel for prospective employees and their families must be authorized by the hiring department in order to be reimbursed. Reimbursements for authorized travel expenses such as airfare, hotel and meals incurred during the recruitment process are not taxable to the prospective employee. Prospective employees are not covered by College insurance. Once an offer of employment has been accepted, travel expenses incurred by the prospective employee and family and paid by the College are considered taxable, aside from an allowance for moving expenses in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. f. International travel: Reimbursable international expenses include expenditures incurred for travel, personal meals, business meals and entertainment, lodging, passport fees, airport taxes, exchange rate fees, and other items necessary for the conduct of College business. Expense reports must be submitted in US dollars with an explanation and translation of the foreign receipts and their conversions. Travelers must use the currency rates that were in effect when travel took place. 12. Expenses Not Reimbursable by the College The following is presented only as a guide and is not intended to be a complete list of expenses which are not reimbursable by the College. • Airline, car rental and travel insurance in addition to the amount provided through the College. • Portion of air travel, train travel, auto rental, mileage, hotel costs, or meals for personal use. • Upgrades for air travel, hotel or car rental. • Traffic fines, court costs, parking violations, and personal auto repairs. • Transportation from home to office to home. • Unused room reservations not properly cancelled. 9
  • 10. Author H.A.FVisit my blog Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page • Alcoholic beverages, except as appropriate to meetings related to fund raising, relationship cultivation, business meetings with non-staff guests and other business purposes as approved by a senior officer. • Annual premiums for personal property insurance, or annual fees for personal credit cards including liability insurance for lost cards. • Theft, loss or damage to non business-related personal property not covered by one of the College’s insurance policies. • Personal expenses such as movies, snacks, haircuts, reading materials, toiletries, etc. • Membership dues, including airline club dues and country club dues, unless authorized by an appropriate authority. • Baby sitter fees, kennel costs, pet or house-sitting fees. • Doctor bills, prescriptions and other medical services. • Monthly Internet line charges from an employee’s personal residence will not be reimbursed unless appropriate business purpose is documented and approved by a senior officer. • Spouse or other companion travel expenses, when the spouse or other companion’s presence is not required by the College. • Cellular or airphone usage (except when documented with appropriate business purpose). • Personal credit card delinquency fees or finance charges. • Saunas, massages or exercise facilities. • Sales taxes paid when exemptions are available. Exemptions are typically available on retail purchases and in the consumption, rental or use of tangible personal property when traveling on behalf of the College in certain states. Further information on exemptions can be found on the Financial Operations web site at http://www.dickinson.edu/info/20082/financial_operations/1344/sales_tax_exemption. Travel Advances In many states, vendors will only honor the tax-exempt status of the College when College funds are used to pay for travel expenses (e.g. direct invoice, use of Purchasing Card). Travel advances should only be used when cash is required and the use of a College Purchasing Card is not feasible. Loaner Purchasing Cards are available in Financial Operations for infrequent use. A travel advance will not be issued for lodging, conference fees, or other substantial costs that can be prepaid, prearranged or invoiced. Travel advances given to directors of short-term (up to six weeks) study-abroad and domestic programs constitute an exception to the travel advance policy. Accounting for these advances, including any foreign currency wired in advance to the program site, is part of the program director’s 10
  • 11. Author H.A.FVisit my blog Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page final budget report submitted to the Office of Global Education and reviewed by Financial Operations at the conclusion of the program. For further information regarding travel as part of a short-term study abroad program, consult the Office of Global Education. Additional information is also included in the Office of Global Education’s Policies and Procedures Manual for Overseas Directors. Completing the Request for Travel Advance Authorization of a travel advance should be documented on the Payment Voucher in accordance with the approval process noted under “Expense Reimbursement Form” below. The request should be submitted at least seven (7), but no more than twenty-one (21), days prior to the departure date. Travelers may request an advance up to $100 in cash for domestic travel in the Cashier’s Office or up to $300 for foreign travel in Accounts Payable via check. Last-minute requests and requests over the stated thresholds are subject to approval and availability of College funds. Responsibility of Traveler after the Trip After travel is complete, an approved Dickinson College Expense Reimbursement Form must be submitted to the Cashier’s Office (or Accounts Payable if the advance was received via check), along with all receipts and unused funds. A travel advance will be held as a receivable from the traveler until supporting documentation has been received. A travel advance must be settled promptly (generally within 15 working days after completion of the trip), and before other advances or reimbursements are requested. Failure to account for a travel advance within 60 days may result in: • The suspension of travel advance privileges. • Taxable income added to the employee’s W-2. Expense Reimbursement Form A properly completed and approved Dickinson College Expense Reimbursement Form is required for requesting reimbursements or reconciling advances related to College travel and business expenses. The purpose of the expense report is to provide a means for faculty and staff to seek reimbursement from the College for travel and business expenses, and to give supervisors/Budget Officers and senior staff the opportunity to fully review these expenditures. In addition, the format of the expense report is intended to provide evidence of compliance with Internal Revenue Service reporting requirements. 11
  • 12. Author H.A.FVisit my blog Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page Support for Expenses Original documents must be submitted as support for expenses. Photocopies of invoices, credit card statements or record of charge slips accompanying the monthly billing statement, receipts or restaurant stubs are not acceptable unless the original document was lost and a signed memorandum is attached to the expense report giving a full explanation of the circumstances. A receipt is defined as a written acknowledgement that a specified remittance, article or delivery has been made. At a minimum, the name of the payee and guest(s), date and amount should appear on the receipt. Itemized receipts should be submitted in place of summarized receipts, in order to allow for adequate supervisor/budget officer review. If a receipt includes non-allowable items, such as a meal for an accompanying spouse, the traveler must indicate which items are allowable and note the reimbursable total on the receipt. Any unusual items or special circumstances causing a policy deviation must be fully explained on an attached signed and approved memorandum. The expense report must be signed by the traveler and submitted to the supervisor/budget officer with a copy of the properly approved travel advance Payment Voucher, if applicable. Frequency of Submission An approved expense report must be submitted with all appropriate documentation within 15 working days after the later of the completion of the trip or the date expenses were incurred. Expense reports submitted more than 60 days after expenses are incurred may not be processed. Signatures All expense reports require the original signature of the employee, Department Head and senior officer of the division. Expense reports of senior officers are approved by either the President or another senior officer. Processing the Expense Report Properly completed and approved expense reports should be forwarded to Financial Operations as follows: • Reimbursement requests up to $100 and return of unused funds – Cashier’s Office • Reimbursement requests over $100 – Accounts Payable1 Purchasing Card 1 Direct deposit is available for employees who complete the Direct Deposit Authorization Form in advance of their reimbursement request 12
  • 13. Author H.A.FVisit my blog Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page The College provides Purchasing Cards to employees who travel frequently and/or purchase goods on a regular basis. A Purchasing Card is issued based on the approval of a departmental Budget Officer or senior officer. Further detail on policies and procedures relating to Purchasing Cards can be found at http://www.dickinson.edu/info/20082/financial_operations/1335/dickinson_purchasing_card. The College encourages the use of Purchasing Cards when possible, in place of travel advances. In addition to the decreased administrative burden associated with accounting for travel advances, employees using Purchasing Cards receive added protection and benefits, including travel assistance. Travel-related Purchasing Card charges will be accounted for with the College’s monthly Purchasing Card statement rather than with the Dickinson College Expense Reimbursement Form. Employees may not put non-allowable charges, either personal or those of an accompanying spouse or other person, on the College Purchasing Cards even with the intent of reimbursing the College. Federally Funded Travel In addition to following the College’s guidelines and procedures, a traveler supported by federal funding must also adhere to federal guidelines. Among the most common restrictions are: • The purchase of alcoholic beverages with federal funds is prohibited. • Airline travel must be booked on United States carriers at the lowest discounted commercial rate. Further guidelines and explanations concerning the Fly America Act can be found at http://www.tvlon.com/resources/FlyAct.html. • Travelers supported by federal funds still must follow College guidelines on the use of receipts and documentation as noted earlier in this brochure and will be reimbursed based on actual expenses. Please note that federal per diem rates for lodging, meals and incidentals provide the maximum that may be reimbursed per day. Rates differ by location. (Please refer to IRS Publication 1542 found on www.irs.gov). When actual expenses exceed the applicable per diem rate, travelers should find a non-federal source of funds to make up the difference in order to receive a full reimbursement. • More detailed information on federally-funded travel in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 41 can be found at http://osr.unc.edu/documents/federal_travel.pdf or http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_06/41cfrv4_06.html#301-1. Employees whose travel is funded by a sponsored grant or contract must check in advance of the trip with the Sponsored Project Group to ensure that all College and/or granting agency procedures and restrictions are followed. Sponsors may impose procedures that are more restrictive than those of the College. This includes internal funding such as travel supported by R&D and the Dean’s Faculty Conference Fund (formerly known as the 1% fund).
