[page under construction] Travel This area is all about travel--and how to get reimbursed for it
Travel Policy Currently, the department reimburses faculty members for two conferences per year, with a reimbursement not to exceed $500.00. Travel and lodging expenses are eligible, as are conference registration fees. You must be on the program in order to be eligible for reimbursement, and proof of participation is required (without it, you cannot be reimbursed). Conference participation beyond the two must be requested to the Chair, and approved by the Faculty. In times of diminished travel budgets, preference will be given to reimbursing junior faculty. (As of this writing, the SOE has established supplemental travel funds to support junior faculty above and beyond departmentally supported conference participation.) [Graduate student travel is also supported, up to $500.00 for one conference presentation [check this]. Students must request approval prior to making travel plans].
Travel procedures You need the following, prior to making travel plans: --Approval of Chair (this may also require Faculty approval) --Complete the top portion of the Travel Voucher to be submitted (obtain from Linda Papa). If you are traveling by air or train, use either Carlson Travel (contact Linda for account number) or, after consulting Carlson Travel, book a cheaper flight using the Internet, prepay, and submit the cost for reimbursement after the trip. Retain all ticket stubs, including boarding passes, if at all possible. Proof is required that you actually went on the trip. A receipt for the travel is not sufficient proof. If you are driving your own car, you will be reimbursed mileage. If a car is necessary and you need to rent one at your destination, you must use Enterprise and also pay for the extended insurance. (Mary Murphy will shortly have new guidelines on this.) This insurance will also be included as part of your expenses. Upon your return, submit to Linda Papa complete Itinerary with your name, address, cost and dates of the trip. Include original receipts: hotel, conference registration, food, taxi, parking, etc. Submit copy of front page of the program, along with those pages that you are acknowledged on. (If possible, bring back and lend to Linda Papa the entire program, we like to record conference presentations made by current and former students. However, the entire program is not needed for reimbursement). Forms cannot be submitted until all forms have proper signature. The sooner you turn in your receipts, the faster the turn-a-round time for reimbursement.
Use the menu to the left to navigate to each topic. Not all links are activated, however, and during the construction phase of this handbook, there may be significant changes in both menus and content. I welcome your feedback!
