If you have an upcoming work travel event, you may be wondering which expenses are reimbursable. The Business Resource Center (BRC) shares some helpful tips.

A $62 cap — not a per diem

• Up to $62 per day in meals and incidentals are reimbursable for domestic business travel including an overnight stay
• This is not an automatic per diem* amount:
  • You must seek reimbursement only for your actual expenses
  • If you routinely claim the full $62 amount, you may be required to submit meal receipts that indicate you are not treating the reimbursement as a per diem. If you do request $62 for multiple days of a trip, provide meal receipts to avoid delayed reimbursement.

* Per diems are only allowed for foreign travel. Contact the BRC for more information about foreign travel reimbursements.

What do meal and incidental expenses include?

• Daily meals
• Restaurant tips
• Hotel and bellhop tips
• Parking attendant tips
• Baggage handler tips
• Ground transportation — Please add tips for taxi/Uber/Lyft rides to the fare amount and submit a single sum.
