Guys,
We are running into a few cases where there are problem areas on submitted expense reports. I'll try to clarify a few of them.
You do not get 60.00 travel pay AND 100.00 daily rate at the same time. If you are traveling to an event that takes more than 1/2 the day, we will pay you 60$ travel pay. IF you WORK an entire day, it is $100.00. so please don't submit both.
You do not get 40.00 per day to eat on. $40.00 was set as a guide line for all 3 meals while you are working. Sometimes it will be more, sometimes less. IT does not mean that you automatically get 120.00 for a 3 day event. We pay ACTUAL expenses with receipts, NO Exceptions. If you take your wife, GF or guest, that expense is not covered by F/A. I have been getting large dinner bills with entire families meals trying to be expensed. That sends up a red flag and gets my compitence questioned if I "OK" these kind of expenses.
We all like a beer or two after a long day. Generally, I don't mind if there is a couple of cold ones on the bill, we all work hard after all. I have gotten reciepts with 8 or 10 beers(drinks) that were to be expensed. We are going to have to cut alchohol off now because of a few. That should have been common sense. From now on , the rule is, a beer or 2 ok, anymore than that is on your dime.
We do not pay fuel AND mileage. Do not submit fuel reciepts unless it is for a company rental or company vehicle. We pay for miliage over 60 miles per trip.
I hope I'm not comming across as an asshole here, but when you have 40 expense reports on your desk to go through, and there is so many grey areas for you guys, it makes my end tougher that it should be.
If you have a question, call Jeff or Myself.
Thanks for letting me bend your ears.
