It is expected that faculty/staff will exercise prudent judgment when incurring expenditures consistent with the flexibility afforded by policies and guidelines. These guidelines apply to the reimbursement from all University funds, irrespective of source.

Though travel paid from grants and contracts typically follows the overall University policy, some exceptions do exist. These include grantor pre-authorization required for foreign travel and use of United States flag carriers in connection with foreign travel. Also, automobile mileage and meal limits on certain grants and contracts (e.g., the State of Georgia) are at lower rates than the University policy. Overall, travel expenses charged to a grant or contract cannot exceed the more restrictive grant or contract clauses. University accounts must be used for any excess reimbursement above that allowed on the grant or contract.

Reimbursement requests must include the original signature of the traveler and the individual authorized to approve the travel. All employees (except Emory University Hospital) who receive payroll by direct deposit will be reimbursed by direct deposit.

Expenditure Limits and Constraints  Generally, first class air travel is not reimbursable.  The mileage allowance for business use of a personal automobile is $.31 per mile (effective 06/01/1996).  Meals may be reimbursed up to $50 daily with no justification of the cost. For daily expenditures which exceed $50, justification and approval by an authorized signature must be included. For all individual meals costing more than $50, an original receipt is required by the IRS. If the cost of the meal includes guests, those persons must be identified and the business purpose of the meal indicated.  Any purchase of alcoholic beverages must be separately identified on the reimbursement form (required by the federal government).

Expenditures Not Reimbursable  Personal entertainment, valet services, and airline travel club fees, such as the Delta Crown Room are not reimbursable.  The traveler will not be reimbursed for costs incurred by failure to cancel transportation, hotel reservations, conference registrations, or other travel-related activities.  The traveler should not accept insurance offered by auto rental agencies as this expense is not reimbursable.  Automobile upgrades are not reimbursable.

Receipts Required  Airfare/Rail Ticket Stub (the original passenger receipt/coupon connected to the ticket which indicates the traveler’s name, destination, dates of travel, and cost) should be attached.  Original receipts must be provided for lodging, vehicle rental, registration fees, and individual meals costing more than $50.  Any other individual expense exceeding $50, such as parking or taxi/limo will not be reimbursed without a receipt.  Receipts that are not letter size must be taped to a white sheet of paper (8 ½ x 11). Several receipts may be taped to each sheet of paper (one side only). This process will significantly improve the review of receipts and will assist in the scanning process. Please do not overlap receipts or turn vertically on the paper.
