Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April 2019 Page 3 PART I PURPOSE AND APPLICATION

Section 101. Introduction and Purpose

The purpose of these travel policies and procedures is to promulgate in one document the regulations that travelers must follow when using any funds under the control and administration of the Executive Branch of the Republic of Palau National Government (hereinafter ROPNG). Further, guidelines are provided to all interested parties as to completion, routing, and distribution of forms and other documents.

Section 102. To Whom Applicable

All official travel in the interest of the Republic of Palau National Government Executive Branch is covered by these policies and procedures. Therefore all employees, boards and commission members, and all other people traveling utilizing ROPNG Executive Branch funds are subject to these policies and procedures.

U.S. Federal, foreign nations, or other special grant funded travel must follow these regulations, except whenever the grant regulations (e.g. contract special conditions) are required by the grantor.

Section 103. The Legislative and Judicial Branches and State Governments and Independent Agencies

Although these policies and procedures are not directed to the Judiciary, the Olbiil Era Kelulau, Independent agencies of the Government, or State Governments, they are welcome and encouraged to adopt any or all provisions that may provide suitable audit trails.

The Olbiil Era Kelulau (OEK) travels under the administrative authority of its own Administrative Manual on Travel and Per Diem, although the OEK regulations are similar to the policies and procedures of the Executive Branch. The Judiciary has in the past followed Executive Branch regulations in the interest of uniformity. Whether or not the ChiefJustice adopts these regulations, or a substantial part thereof, a separate travel policies and procedures manual for the Judiciary is appropriate. Each State Government and Independent agencies should likewise promulgate its own travel policies and procedures.

Section 104. Definitions

BNT Bureau ofNational Treasury

DF&A Division ofFinance & Accounting

Dependent A dependent is a person entitled to transportation under the employment agreement of an employee. Dependents are limited to the spouse and children (including legally adopted and

Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April 2019 Page4 step-children) under 19 years of age. The Travel Section may require proof of dependent status such as a marriage license, , adoption papers or other documentation.

Non-employee Traveler People who are not regular employees of the ROPNG Executive Branch, such as consultants, researchers, visiting dignitaries, students, or medical patients, but who travel using Executive Branch funds directly (i.e., not under a contract) are considered non­ employee travelers, subject to most provisions of these regulations.

Per Diem Per diem is a daily allowance provided to reimburse the traveler for authorized expenses incurred for lodging and meals.

ROPNG Republic ofPalau National Government.

Daily Subsistence Allowance An allowance provided to employees only for meal expenses incurred while on official travel, when lodging is provided at the expense of someone other than the traveler.

Supplementary Fund Funds provided to a traveler for whose travel expenses are being paid by an outside sow-ce (other than the ROPNG). Examples are funds to cover costs associated with transiting to or from the destination (with all expenses paid once the traveler arrives) or funds provided to cover a shortfall of available funds from an outside source.

Travel Section The Travel Section is an organizational unit within the Division ofFinance and Accounting, Bureau of National Treasury, Ministry of Finance that is responsible for processing travel requests.

Representation Fund Funds that are considered essential to accomplish the Department's authorized programs or objectives. Furthermore, the authorized official must decide that the Department's functions could not be as effectively accomplished without incuning the expense. Officials organizing and approving the functions are responsible for exercising the judgment necessary to ensure that costs are commensurate with the location of the event, type of activity, local customs, as well as being limited to officials whose presence is necessary to accomplish the purpose of the function. Authorized officials must also determine that the cost per attendee is reasonable and that the location is appropriate for official government functions.

Travel at government expense should be performed strictly for the purpose or purposes specified in the travel authorization. Travelers shall not use their official travel as an occasion to interfere with an election or to affect the results of an election, to campaign for any candidate for public office, or to coerce any person or political party in reference to any politically related activity. Persons who use or attempt to use government-funded travel outside of Palau for personal benefit or gain will be subject to reimbursing the national government for all or a portion of the amounts expended on such travel. Travelers whose conduct is deemed inappropriate may also be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with Part II of the Public Service System Rules and Regulations and the Code of Conduct Act.

Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April2019 Page 11 PART3 PER DIEM AND OTHER EXPENSES

Section 301. Per Diem

301.1 Expenses Covered by Per Diem

Per diem is a daily allowance provided to reimburse travelers for authorized expenses incurred for lodging and meals incurred while on official travel.

301.2 Per Diem Rates at Locations and En-route

Per diem rates may vary from location to location on any given trip if multiple destinations are involved. (See Appendix B)

The traveler earns the per diem rate applicable to the location where the traveler stays overnight. If the traveler does not require lodging because of being on an airplane or other public transportation overnight, or stays somewhere that does not require paid lodging, the traveler will be reimbursed at a flat rate of$50.00 per night. A traveler, who is laid over more than 4 hours is eligible for meal allowance.

A traveler cannot be reimbursed for more than one time for one night. However, a situation could arise whereby a traveler who is in transit with an early morning arrival may require use of a room for meeting purposes or other official business prior to an evening departure. In this case, the traveler would check into a hotel in the morning after spending the night on an airplane, freshen up, conduct official business throughout the day, and pay for a room for the period of check-in until check-out that same day. The traveler will not be entitled to per diem (per diem will be paid at the rate allowed for the location where the traveler spends the night), but will retain the hotel receipt for reimbursement as a "special expense." The requirement for special funds for a hotel room while in transit must be noted on the Travel Authorization Form ROP- 1020 (Items #9 - 11 ).

There may be instances where an employee, as part of the cost of a training class, conference, etc. has a room provided. In these situations, the employee may receive a maximum of 45% of the allowable daily per diem (i.e., no lodging) as promulgated by the ROP Executive Branch. However, if sponsor pays for the room not including meals than the traveler is entitled for the maximum of 45% of the allowable daily per diem provided that the sponsor did not provide the meal allowance or per diem to the traveler. Alllogding that provides free breakfast, lunch, or dinner are considered meal allowance. In addition, we will break down the amount percentage for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if sponsor agencies do not provide breakfast, lunch or dinner to the traveler:

• Breakfast 15% • Lunch 15% • Dinner 15%

Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April 2019 Page 12 An example of calculation of a traveler's per diem follows:

Sat.lsl LV Koror ...... 2:05am Sat.J st A RR ...... 5:15am Sat. I st LV Guam ...... 6:45 am Fri. 31st ARR Honolulu ...... 1:15pm Fri. 31st LV Honolulu ...... 2:25pm Sat. 1st ARR Houston...... I :45 am Sat. 151 LV Houston ...... 2:25 am Sat, l 51 ARR Wash D.C ...... 6:30 am Sat. 8'b LV Wash D.C ...... 7:25 am Sat. 8'h A RR Houston ...... I I: 15 am Sat. 8'h LV Houston ...... 12:15 pm Sat. g

In the preceding, the employee traveled straight through from Koror to Washington, D.C., i.e., no overnight stops, and so received only the $50 flat per diem. Upon arrival, the traveler was charged for hotel lodging from the time he/she checked in at 6 a.m., until noon, then another day's lodging for the night of the same day as check-in.

In order to remove the complication of computing per diem rates by quarter days or by attempting to compute an en route per diem in addition to daily per diem, and keeping track of changes in days resulting from crossing the International Dateline and changes in times by crossing time zones, all of this is ignored. Per diem is simply paid on the basis of where the traveler paid for lodging or where he/she otherwise spent the normal sleeping hours.

If the per diem rate of Washington, D.C. is $350 and Honolulu is $300, then in the example above the per diem is calculated as follows: per diem night #1 -on airplane all night...... 50 night #2- on airplane all night...... 50 night #3- lodging in Washington, D.C.* ...... 350 night #4- lodging in Washington, D.C ...... 350 night #5- lodging in Washington, D.C ...... 350 night #6- lodging in Washington, D.C ...... 350 night #7- lodging in Washington D.C ...... 350 night #8- lodging in Washington D.C ...... 350 night #9-lodging in Washington D.C ...... 350 night# 10- lodging in Honolulu ...... 300 total per diem ...... 2850

*The hotel charges will be based on actual receipt submitted.

The time of day that a traveler leaves one location and travels to another does not affect the per diem rate; what controls the rate is the location where the traveler spends the night. For travelers leaving Palau, there will be situations when a traveler leaving earlier in the day than another traveler finds that he/she earns no more per diem than a second traveler leaving later in the day.

Travel Po licies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised Apri12019 Page 13 For example, a traveler leaving in the morning for Guam and staying overnight in Guam will be paid the same per diem rate as a traveler leaving in the afternoon for Guam and staying overnight in Guam. The only way the early traveler can earn more than the later traveler for that time between when the first and second travelers departed is to go on an Actual Subsistence Expense Status (see Sec. 301.3) and claim for any meals that were purchased during that time.

301.3 Receipt Requirements

The Executive Branch Per Diem Rate Schedule provides for a flat rate of per diem reimbursement for specific locations and general geographic areas. NO RECEIPTS are required. Evidence of public transportation taken (e.g., a fmal itinerary and boarding passes) and a signed Trip Report (if required) shall be considered proof that an official trip was taken.

Whatever lodging and meals an employee chooses, the employee is responsible for living in a healthy manner so as to remain in good mental and physical health while conducting official business.

There is nothing in these policies to discourage or prevent travelers from claiming less than the flat per diem rate when an expense claim (i.e., travel voucher) is submitted after the end of the trip.

The traveler may choose an ALTERNATIVE to the flat per diem rate. A traveler may elect to be placed in an Actual Subsistence Expense at any location, in lieu of the flat per diem rate. In these cases, lodging receipts must be submitted with the travel voucher. The Actual Subsistence Expense option must be chosen before the T A is approved, or an amended T A must be completed later.

If this choice is made, enter the statement below m space #11 entitled PER DIEM ALLOWANCE on the Travel Authorization form:

"Actual expense of lodging plus a maximum of 45% of the established per diem rate per day for meals in [enter name(s) of location(s)]."

The traveler may choose Actual Subsistence Expense Status for any or all destinations/locations requiring overnight lodging.

301.4 Executive Branch Per Diem Rates

Refer to Appendix B Per Diem Rates.

301.5 ROPNG Allowance Rates

This section authorizes a $30.00 per night subsistence allowance to be paid to employees on government business that requires an overnight stay(s) in an area outside their normal duty station where the work to be performed will be best accomplished by remaining at the job site without returning borne. The allowance payments are requested through

Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April 2019 Page 14 memorandums and approved by proper management. The allowance is expensed and receipts are not required. Management has the responsibility to ensure the trip is taken. The expense account is reimbursed should the employee fails to make the trip.

301.6 Medical Referrals

For medical referrals to medical facilities out of the Republic, standard per diem rates and rules apply to doctors, nurses, health aides, and other personnel who are authorized by the Minister of Health to accompany medical referral patients.

Referral patients and family members accompanying referral patients are not allowed per diem.

301.7 Stipends

Stipends are sometimes paid to students attending school. They are not considered as per diem or any other form of travel expense. These costs are not to be stated on a Travel Authorization. Stipend payments are requested through memorandums and are to be obligated on miscellaneous encumbrance documents.

Section 302. Other Reimbursable Expenses

There are a number of other allowable and reimbursable expenses in addition to those covered by per diem. Many require receipts in order to allow reimbursement; regardless of receipt requirements, these expenses must be itemized by day on the travel voucher.

302.1 Allowable Expense and Receipt Requirements

ALLOWABLE expenses, receipts required: Authorized car rental (as approved in advance; item 18 ofTA ), including CDW insw·ance. Air, rail, bus (not municipal), or water transportation paid from travelers own funds. Baggage handling fees exceeding $10. Official telephone calls, telegrams, and facsimile (FAX) charges.

SPECIAL ALLOWABLE expenses, receipts required

A traveler may be called upon to conduct official business in the coLu·se of which expenses may be incurred (such as rental of a meeting place, secretarial service, equipment rental, services of a guide or translator, etc.). These special expenses should be anticipated, noted on the Travel Authorization Form, and approved in advance.

The President, Vice President, and Ministers may from time to time be required to entettain officials of other organizations/governments. Only the President, Vice President, and Ministers are allowed to use the Representation funds for alcoholic beverages for hosting high officials/dignitaries as authorized in advance by the President.

SPECIAL ALLOWABLE expenses, receipts not required:

The President, Vice President, and Ministers as authorized by the President, or the President's designee, on a case by case basis, may from time-to-time travel on official business for the Republic which requires special and/or extraordinary expenses due to protocol or security issues. These expenses tend to be unique to the nature of senior government officials and the execution of their duties and are incurred in furtl1erance of the mission of those officials. These expenses include, but are not limited to items such as, or of the nature of: tips or gratuities for the VIP services which protocol requires be extended to such officials; payments to Palauan citizens in distress or in unusual circumstances; contributions to community events; Sengk; donations to non-governmental organizations, chariti es, or chattered associations, and reciprocal gifts customarily exchanged between senior level officials.

The above expenses incurred by ilie President, Vice President, and Ministers, as authorized by the President, or designee, shall be ful ly reimbursed with or without receipts, provided that:

I. The official provides an itemized claim for each expense on their travel report; or as authorized in the travel authorization (TA).

2. The itemized claim to include the date, the amount of, the person receiving the expense, and the specific nature of the expense which makes it unique or extraordinary (i.e. tips or gratuities for the higher end services which protocol requires be extended to such officials, payments to Palauan citizens in distress or in unusual circumstances, reciprocal gifts customarily exchanged bet\veen senior level officials, etc.); and

3. The President, or the President's designee, has (a) preauthorized in writing and attached to theTA, the expenses or an amount to be paid for such special allowable expenses, not to exceed three thousand dollars ($3,000.00) or (b) has reviewed and authorized in writing the expenses after the trip. Such written authorization shall be attached to the travel report before reimbursement is paid.

Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April2019 Page 16 NOT ALLOWABLE expenses:

Items for personal grooming, comfort, health, or recreation are not allowable. Liability for loss/damages or injuries caused by the traveler to persons or property at any time during the period of travel shall be that of the traveler.

Examples of these unallowable expenses are haircuts and styling, shoe shines, pain relievers, magazines, health spa and fitness rooms, recreation equipment rental, guided tours, gambling bets, toiletries, tips (bellboy, taxi, restaurant, etc.), tobacco products, room service, videotapes or cable TV, massage, alcoholic beverages, theater tickets, and medical bills.

302.2 Lost Receipts

The traveler is responsible for the safekeeping of required receipts, and is therefore generally not able to request reimbursement for expenses for which he/she no longer has (or never acquired) receipts.

However, in extenuating circumstances causing receipts to be destroyed, lost or stolen, the traveler may submit an affidavit stating the item(s) of expense claimed, the amount, the date, and extenuating circumstances. The Minister of Finance or designee will make a determination as to whether a reimbursement is allowable on a case-by-case basis. In addition, a traveler may be reimbursed only once when submitting an affidavit for expense claimed by lost, destroyed, or stolen receipts. Travel section will only expense out any future travel voucher if the same traveler continues to file affidavit after the first reimbursement.

Section 303. Expenses Paid Directly By The ROPNG

There are certain travel expenses that are usually paid directly to a vendor by the National Treasury; the traveler neither pays the bill nor files for reimbursement on a travel voucher.

303.1 Commercial Carriers and Use of a GTR

The Executive Branch usually pays a commercial carrier or a travel agent directly for airline fares and presents the tickets to the traveler before depa1ture, provided the Travel Section receives a completed TA at least five (5) working days prior to departure. A Government Transportation Request (GTR), or other method of payment determined to be more economical, will be the means through which tickets are obtained from commercial sources for officially authorized travel.

Refunds for unused GTRs (or any portion thereof) are to be reimbursed only to the ROPNG and not to the traveler!

The government policy is to arrange for the most economical means of transportation. If less than "most economical" is not available at the time travel is required, the Travel Section may arrange for more expensive travel. Only the President, Vice President and their spouses (when traveling on official government business) may travel on business or first class.

Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April2019 Page 17 Other officials are encouraged to travel at lowest available fare and may upgrade by the traveler's personal expense, or use their own miles or coupons to upgrade to business class.

303.2 Hotel Deposits

At times conferences, workshops, seminars, short trammg courses, or other types of meetings are held at specific hotels or other lodgings that have set aside a block of rooms for the participants, often at special room rates. In order to guarantee the special rate and/or room reservation, these hotels often require a deposit a specific time in advance of the first night of the lodging. The traveler may request (on a Travel Authorization form) that the Division of Finance and Accounting issue a check payable to the hotel or charge the first night of lodging to a government issued debit card.

The traveler, in the interest of expediency, may use a personal credit card, check, bank draft, money order, etc. to guarantee a room. If the conference, workshop, etc. is subsequently cancelled or moved to another location in insufficient time for the traveler to prevent the hotel from assessing the charge anyway, this may be requested as an extra cost reimbursement on the travel voucher.

303.3 Conference Fees

If a traveler is to attend a conference, seminar, workshop, or short training course that requires a registration or course fee, a request may be made through a memorandum and is to be obligated on miscellaneous encumbrance documents. A copy of the registration form showing the fee amount must be attached to the memorandum. The traveler may request (on a Travel Authorization form) that the Division of Finance and Accounting charge the fee to a government issued debit card. The Travel Authorization should indicate that the fee has been prepaid.

Another method is to advance the amount of the fee to the traveler, along with the per diem advance, and have the traveler take cue of paying the fee either by mail or by paying upon anival at the conference, seminar, etc. A receipt must be acquired and submitted with the travel voucher.

Section 304. Use of Credit Cards

304.1 Personal Credit Cards

All allowable expenses may be charged to a traveler's personal credit card. However, the credit card charge slip will not substitute for an actual receipt when a receipt is required. Charge card slips are not descriptive enough to give all the facts needed to judge whether an expense is allowable or not.

Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April 2019 Page 18 Section 305. Layovers and Indirect Routes

305.1 Allowability of Layovers

When an employee chooses to interrupt by layover travel by a direct route and does not conduct official business, the extra expense normally is not reimbursable. lt is not considered an emergency if you delay because your baggage does not arrive on schedule. Extra expenses are allowed only when travel is interrupted and delayed due to severe weather, equipment failure, or other circumstance beyond the control of the traveler. Per diem will not be allowed for travelers on personal leave. If any extra travel time is taken for personal reasons, that extra time is chargeable to leave and the extra expense must be borne by the traveler.

It is recognized that uninterrupted travel time from many points to and from the Republic may require 24 or more hours of elapsed travel time. This continuous travel time may be detrimental to the mental and physical health of an employee and in tum have an adverse effect on job performance. In all cases where elapsed travel time from point of origin to the Republic of Palau, or vice versa, exceeds 24 hours, a layover (overnight stop) is permitted.

Elapsed travel time is measured by the actual number of hours from the time that the traveler leaves his/her lodging (e.g., home, hotel) to the time that the traveler arrives at the new lodging for the night.

305.2 Indirect Routes

When an employee travels by an indirect route, the extra expense, if any, is normally not reimbursable. Exceptions are made where it is demonstrated that it was in the best interest of the ROPNG or the traveler's health or safety to take the indirect route.

Examples of "best interest" are:

avoidance of weather conditions which might have caused the traveler to become significantly delayed at a point of travel

avoidance of an area that has an immediate health epidemic such as cholera

avoidance of a dangerous situation such as an anned takeover of a foreign government

avoidance of potential terrorist activities (according to official warnings)

Note that indirect routes usually take more time, and any extra hours must be reflected in a personal leave adjustment if this extra time was not judged "best interest." (ROP Public Service System Rules and Regulations currently require that all personal leave in excess of three days must be applied for and approved in advance.)

Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April 2019 Page 19 Section 306. Personal Effects Shipments

306.1 Policy

When directed, an employee may be reimbursed for shipment of personal effects from a permanent residence outside of Palau to Palau, back to a permanent residence at termination of contract, or to a duty assignment outside of Palau. Insurance is not included unless specifically stated as a term and condition of the contract.

The situations when these expenses are authorized are:

1. Public Service System employees recruited or transferred beyond normal commuting distances from their place of permanent residence for work or extended training outside the Republic and on their return.

2. Employees, either appointed or contractual, are allowed shipment of personal effects at ROPNG expense both to the Republic and back, and outside the Republic and back, provided all terms of contracts or other employment agreements regarding this have been met.

3. Employees are allowed temporary storage if negotiated in a contract agreement, and subject to the restrictions contained in these travel policies and procedures.

The number ofpounds of personal effects that may be shipped or stored at ROPNG expense is detetmined by number of dependents and other conditions as described in the following section 306.2, and in the standard employment contract. In the event of differences between these travel policies and the Employee contract, the tenns and conditions of the contract shall prevail.

Requests for shipment and storage of personal effects must be authorized on a Travel Authorization.

306.2 Air Parcel Post Allowances

Air parcel post shipments of personal effects are authorized as follows:

1. 3 50 pounds gross weight for:

a. those employees with dependents who resi de with them at their duty posts. This applies to newly appointed personnel coming to Palau, terminated employees returning to their point of recruitment, and employees transferred to duty stations outside of Palau.

b. employees sent for extended training where the training period exceeds 90 days. This includes shipment of professional books or materials, or tools or instruments, to be used in conjunction with their training, both to and from their duty post.

Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April 2019 Page 20 2. 200 pounds ~ weight for those employees without dependents residing with them at their duty posts. This applies to newly appointed personnel coining to Palau, terminated employees returning to their point of recruitment, and employees transferred to duty stations outside ofPalau.

Section 307. Repatriation

Repatriation to point of hire is a standard aspect of most contracts for employees recruited from outside Palau. Oftentimes an employee who has completed his/her tetm of contract does not wish to return to the place of recruitment outside of Palau.

307.1 Repatriation to Other Than Point of Hire

Some employees choose to be repatriated to a point other than the point of hire. In these situations, the employee must make this known to his/her supervisor in sufficient time before the T A is prepared.

The policy of the Executive Branch is that employees may be repatriated to a location other than the recruitment point as long as the cost of transportation, per diem, and shipping does not exceed what it would have cost the government to repatriate them to the point of hire. Payments for costs of repatriation are made directly to the airlines and shipping companies. Thus, where costs of transportation and shipping are less than the costs the traveler would have incurred to the point of hire, in no case will a cash payment of the balance accrue to the employee. Per diem is restricted to a maximum of one day if overnight travel is involved.

307.2 Restrictions

Repatriation upon completion of a contract must take place within 30 days after the contract has ended. If an employee decides not to leave Palau within 30 days, he/she forfeits any repatriation benefits.

Section 308. Contract Emp1oyee Home Leave

Contract employees may be eligible for home leave per contract terms and conditions.

Per diem is allowed for the employee only, i.e., excluding dependents. Per diem is restricted to a maximum of two days, one day each for going and returning, if overnight travel is involved.

Home leave means that between contracts, or no later than ninety (90) days into a following contract, the employee and dependents (as listed in the employee's contract) may travel to the point ofhire (or other destination; see below).

Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April 2019 Page 21 Eligible employees are entitled to:

Air fare: allowance of an amount equal to the cost of returning an employee (and dependents, as applicable) to the location of hire, then back to the point of employment (usually Palau). If the employee chooses not to return to the point of hire, a GTR will be issued in an amount not to exceed the airfare amount that the employee (and dependents) would have been granted had he/she actually returned to the point of hire (See Sec. 307.)

Per diem: the amount allowed to the point of hire in accordance with Sections 301.2 and 307. Per diem is limited to only the amount the employee is entitled to for enroute travel to the point of hire and return. No per diem is paid for the intervening days.

Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April 2019 Page 22 PART4 TRAVEL ADVANCE

Section 401. Reasons For Travel Advances

The ROPNG Executive Branch recognizes the high cost of traveling outside of the Republic, and that many employees do not have credit cards or cannot otherwise afford to pay their own per diem out-of-pocket. Therefore when requested and approved travel advances are authorized.

Advances are allowable to consultants and others traveling on an Executive Branch Travel Authorization if the former have contracts having terms and conditions calling for the Government to provide travel advances, and the latter sign promissory notes acceptable to the Director of the Bureau ofNational Treasury; such promissory notes shall guarantee full repayment of any travel advances in the event a travel voucher, i.e., expense claim, is not filed, or in the event that there is a calculated balance due the Govemment upon filing of an expense claim.

Section 402. Travel Advance Policies

Travel advances made pursuant to requests for such advances are considered to be in the nature of a loan to the traveler to help cover authorized expenses while traveling on official business. The traveler is personally responsible to pay back the full amount of the advance within 15 days after completion of the travel for which the advance was requested. The repayment may be made by:

a) applying all, or whatever part may be required, of the amount due the traveler reimbursement for expenses incurred during such travel; or

b) cash payment by the traveler; or

c) any combination of(a) and (b) as may be required to liquidate the advance; or

d) failing (a), (b), or (c) above, the Government may make payroll deductions from regular employees

In the case of employees on termination of employment (appointment or contract) status, the full per diem (100%) based upon the maximum travel time allowed the employee and dependents to retum to the point of hire will be paid as "final" with no travel voucher required to be submitted.

In the case of consultants or others traveling on ROPNG travel advances which are allowed as part of their contractual agreement, per diem may be considered a direct charge to the accountable "org", and no travel voucher is required to be submitted.

Travel advances cannot be based upon stipends, transfer allowances, honorariums, or any other basis other than stated in the preceding items.

Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April 2019 Page 23 Travelers who are delinquent in submitting a voucher(s) to account for an advance(s) under the authority of a different Travel Authorization(s) may be denied any further advances. If payroll deductions or other repayment schedules have been established to the satisfaction of the Director, Bureau ofNational Treasury, another advance may be allowed.

An "Application and Account For Advances of Funds," when signed by the traveler, is an authorization for payroll deduction. This form must be signed by employee travelers or his or her designee before an advance is granted (see Section 403. 1). The "remarks" section at the bottom of the form states:

"Signature of applicant above authorizes collection of the amount of this advance by payroll deduction if travel voucher is not submitted within l5days after completion of this travel. .. "

A travel advance request must be received by the Travel Section at least Five (5) working days prior to the departure date in order for a traveler to be assured of an advance. Advance requests received later should be accompanied with justification on late request and will be processed as soon as possible if approved by Director ofBNT or designee; when it becomes known that an advance check cannot be issued before the traveler's departure date, the Division of Finance and Accounting will try to contact the traveler or TA requestor to give this information.

402.1 Travel Outside of Palau

The advance is limited to a maximum of90% of the estimated per diem and other expenses shown on the Travel Authorization. Travelers choosing Actual Subsistence Expense Status are allowed 100% advance for lodging. Employees being repatriated at the end of an employment contract, and non-employees such as consultants entitled to per diem as a part of a contractual or other written agreement are allowed 100% advance per diem upon request.

Section 403. Travel Advance Procedures

403.1 Initial Travel Advance

All employee travelers wi ll be required to sign an "Application and Account For Advance of Funds" prior to receiving a travel advance. Failure to sign the form or otherwise authorize the Payroll Section to sign for the traveler will prevent an advance check from being issued. The Travel Section will fill out the form, taking the information from the TA. The traveler will then sign the form.

Instructions for completing this form follow. See Appendix A (A.2) for an example of a completed form.

Item 1. Account No. Enter the fund and general ledger travel advance account number.

The Travel Section is responsible for preparing the Travel Accounts Payable Voucher request for submission to the Chief of DF&A or his/her designee for approval. A copy of the Travel Advance Form will accompany the Travel Accounts Payable Voucher.

The Travel Section retains the Application and Account For Advance of Funds forms, as part of its record for accounting for each Travel Authorization and travel advance,

The Travel Section is also responsible for notifying the Payroll Section when a travel voucher is past due and/or money is due the National Government by the traveler for all or portions of past advances, so that payroll deductions may be set up.

403.2 Additional Travel Advance

After receipt of the 90% advance, or lesser amount if requested, the traveler may receive an additional advance only if the travel is extended or the estimated per diem and other expenses prove to be substantially understated.

In either of the above situations, an amended TA is prepared in accordance with Section 205, and another Application and Account For Advance of Funds is completed. If the traveler is already gone on the trip, the form(s) will be retained for his/her signature upon return.

Also, if the traveler is already traveling on the trip authorized by the TA before it is known that the trip has been extended or the original advance was understated, the proper embassy, consulate or liaison office will be notified and the Bureau of National Treasury will make

Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April 2019 Page 25 arrangements for the additional advance to be paid by the foreign office. The foreign office making any such advance will communicate such actions to the Division of Finance and Accounting immediately, and send copies of travel advance checks issued.

Section 404. Repayments and Reimbursements

The travel advance policies (Sec. 402) direct that a traveler must take action to repay a travel advance within 15 days after completion of the travel. After the 15 day period, travel advances not repaid are referred to as overdrawn.

The travel Section will then have the traveler's wages ganushed for the outstanding travel advance. The amount to be "deducted bi-weekly will be $100 or 10 % of the advance received, whichever is greater.

If the approved travel voucher's calculations show that an additional amount is due to the traveler, the travel advance is applied against the reimbursement request and a check is issued for the additional amount due.

See Section 604 entitled "Balances Due To The Traveler" and Section 605 entitled "Balances Due To The ROPNG" for additional information.

Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April2019 Page 26 PARTS GOVERNMENT TRANSPORTATION REQUESTS {GTRs)

Section 501. Use and Restrictions of GTRs

A Government Transportation Request (GTR) is the usual means through which tickets are obtained from commercial sources such as public transportation companies or travel agencies (Sec. 303. 1).

If the traveler is unable to submit a Travel Authorization in time for a GTR to be processed, the traveler is authorized to purchase a ticket at his/her own expense, and request reimbursement on the travel voucher after the end of the trip. The traveler is responsible for following the rules of most economical means of travel. If the traveler purchases a ticket that costs more than what would have been authorized by the GTR, the traveler must pay the difference in cost.

The ROPNG GTR shall not be used for other than officially authorized transportation for the benefit of the ROPNG. These requests will be issued by the Travel Section only for the transportation of persons and/or specified passenger transp01tation service consistent with proper travel authority. Transportation requests shall ordinarily be used to obtain all official passenger transportation when the amount involved is $50.00 or more.

Travel Section employees or their supervisors are the only ROPNG officials authorized to handle GTRs. GTRs shall not be carried by the traveler except in emergency situations and with the permission of the Travel Section.

Through fares, special fares, excursion fares and other reduced rate round trip fares should be utilized for official travel when it can be determined prior to the commencement of a trip that any such type of service represents practical and economical use of funds.

GTRs should be drawn only when it is known or can be reasonably anticipated that such tickets will be required or utilized.

When a traveler is obligated to make several stops to conduct official business, a through ticket with stopover privileges usually can be utilized at a savings to the Government, requiring only one GTR to be issued.

GTRs shall not be used for any transportation costs other than authorized on the Travel Authorization.

Section 502. Instructions For Completion of GTR Forms

In instances when all of the spaces are not required for the services being procured, horizontal lines should be drawn through the spaces that are not utilized. When the request is issued for a combination of classes of transportation, specific information as to respective carriers and services authorized must be shown in detail in the "via" space or on the reverse of the request, to preclude any ambiguity. In any instances in which the available space on

Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April2019 Page 27 the request form is inadequate for the insertion of all of the necessary information, the spaGe on the reverse of the request should be utilized for continuation purposes.

The GTR is also designated for utilization in the procurement of chartered or contract transportation services.

For an example of specific entries to be made on the GTR, see the sample completed GTR in Appendix A.4. few people will ever have occasion to prepare a GTR, or even see one, as this form is almost exclusively used as a transaction between the Travel Section and the ticket agent.

Section 503. Spoiled or Canceled GTRs

All GTRs that are spoiled in preparation or before transmittal to the travel agent, or canceled for any reason, or prepared for issuance but unused, shall be endorsed "CANCELED" across the face and immediately placed in the Travel Section copy file.

Section 504. Refunds and Credits To Be Turned Over To ROPNG

If the traveler has an airline ticket purchased for him/her with a GTR, and the traveler subsequently changes his/her travel route and/or destination resulting in a lower total ticket price than the maximum authorized by the GTR, a refund is due to the ROPNG. This applies to unused ticket coupons and Miscellaneous Charge Orders (MCO) issued by a travel agency or directly by an airline company.

For example, a traveler has a ticket written from Point A to Point B to Point C to Point D. While at Point B, the traveler finds out that a meeting scheduled at Point C has been cancelled. The traveler goes to the airline company or travel agency that issued the original ticket and has the ticket rewritten so that the flight is direct (i.e., no voluntary layovers) from Point B to Point D. In this instance the ticket from Point B to Point D is less expensive than a ticket from Point B to Point C to Point D. Therefore, the airline issues a Miscellaneous Charge Order, which is a coupon that can be applied against other travel. fares or excess baggage costs, etc. This MCO is then turned in to the ROPNG, not used by the traveler for unauthorized travel expenses.

To summarize, any MCO's issued in conjunction with an airline ticket purchased with a GTR, or any flight coupons purchased with a GTR and not used, shall be returned to the Travel Section will then return all MCO coupons or unused flight coupons for credit by the appropriate travel agency or airline.

Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April 2019 Page 28 PART6 EXPENSE CLAIMS

Section 601. Use of Travel Vouchers

A Travel Voucher, TV-10 12, is required to be submitted when funds for per diem and other expenses have been authorized on a Travel Authorization, whether or not a travel advance was received in connection with said travel. The only exceptions not requiring Travel Vouchers to be submitted are when a Travel Authorization authorizes an inpatient expense allowance only (for inpatients on medical referral), when a terminated employee is returned home to his/her point of hire, and when a consultant or other non-employee is due the per diem as part of a contractual agreement. With exceptions, non-employees of the government or non-employees without contractual agreement may travel when the following are followed; a written memo from the departments justifying such travel and advance approval by the President of the Republic ofPalau on their Travel Advance.

The traveler is responsible for preparing and submitting a completed Travel Voucher within fifteen (15) days after completion of official travel. In the event a Travel Voucher is not received when due, without good and sufficient cause for delay, the Government may suspend issuance of any fmther travel authorizations to that individual until such time as a travel voucher is filed and additional amounts due the ROPNG are paid or payroll allotments are in effect. See also 402(A) & (D).

The traveler must submit with the travel voucher a report in each instance which:

(a) travel is finally terminated short of the destination to which a transportation request was drawn;

(b) any portion of a transportation ticket is not used; or

(c) purposes for which the travel was authorized are not performed or where planned tasks are not accomplished.

Such report shall set forth all the facts and circumstances and transmit therewith any unused tickets or coupons. Travelers are not authorized to receive funds for unfinished service or services performed which are of a different character from those originally specified on the TA. Failure of travelers to comply with the foregoing and thus protect properly the interests of the Republic of Palau may subject them to responsibility for any resulting losses to the ROPNG.

The original Travel Auth01ization is to be submitted with the Travel Voucher.

All non-employees traveler defmed in this section are exempt from filing travel voucher. The travel section shall expense their travel advance when documents stated on paragraph 1 in this section are provided.

There are instructions to the traveler on the form as well as on this page. If the traveler would like further guidance, see the sample completed form in Appendix A.5

Section 603. Supporting Documents

The following documents must be attached to each travel voucher:

1. The original Travel Authorization. 2. Any unused transportation tickets. 3. The boarding pass (e.g., coupon copies of airline Passenger Ticket and Baggage Check). 4. All items requiring receipts (see Sections 301.3 and 302. 1). 5. A written statement explaining lost receipts (re Sec. 302.2). 6. A Trip Report as required (see Part 7).

Section 604. Balances Due To The Traveler

If an approved Travel Voucher shows that the amount of expenses claimed for reimbursement exceeds the amount of the travel advance, there is an amount due to the traveler. The amount will be credited to his/her personal travel account to be applied against amounts due the ROPNG on other travel claims, or a traveler may choose that it will be applied against future travel.

All Travel Vouchers reimbursements will be made by check from the Bureau ofNational Treasury.

An employee having an amount due to him/her will normally be paid within 30 days after submission of the Travel Voucher. The Treasury Division will notify the employee when the check is ready to be picked up (or mailed at the employee's request).

Section 605. Balances Due To the ROPNG

After a travel voucher is submitted, the amount due the traveler as reimbursement for expenses is applied against the amount of the advance. If a balance due to the Government remains, this is due and payable immediately. Further, if a travel voucher is not submitted at all, the employee is liable for the full amount of the advance after 15 days of the travel.

The following subsections describe how repayments are to be made.

605.1 Payments To Accompany Travel Voucher

When a traveler completes a travel voucher and believes that the reimbursable expenses are less than the advance, a check (money order, etc.) payable to the Palau National Treasury should accompany the travel voucher.

As a practical matter, however, a traveler does not necessarily know the amount owed when a travel voucher is submitted, due to subsequent per diem and other expenses calculations

Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April 2019 Page 31 and audit done by the Travel Section. In these cases, after the travel voucher has been completed and approved, the Travel Section will send a copy to the traveler, along with a note stating the balance due. The traveler must then make payment at the Bureau ofNational Treasury. If paying in person, the traveler should show the copy of the travel voucher to the cashier.

605.2 Payroll Deductions

If an employee traveler is unable to come up with enough money to pay the overdrawn amount, payroll deductions will be made (see Section 404).

Deductions from the employee's pay shall be made at a rate that provides for repayment of the advance in the least amount of time. Deduction amounts will be $100 bi-weekly or 10% of the amount of advance received, whichever is greater. In the case of termination prior to full repayment of the amount advanced, deductions may be up to 100% of the amount of advance received.

If the employee does not initiate steps to make the payroll deductions, by talking to Travel Section and Payroll Section personnel, the payroll deduction will be done automatically. This will be done on the first payroll following the payroll period during which the travel voucher was due and not submitted or a copy of the signed travel voucher was presented to the traveler, with an amount due to the ROPNG.

If traveler does not file a travel voucher 60 days after payroll deductions has been completed, DF&A will not reimburse the traveler for the total amount that has been collected to complete the travel advance.

Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April 2019 Page 32 Part 7 TRIP REPORT

Section 701. Trip Report

In order to better justify and be accountable for travel expenditures, travelers must complete a Trip Report after completion of their travel. A copy of this report must be submitted along with the travel voucher (expense claim); thus it has the same due date as the expense claim.

The original copy of the Trip Report is to be filed with the head (or designee) of the organization funding the travel.

701.1 Trip Report Contents

A Trip Report may follow or contain the following information on the Trip Report Form on Appendix A.6.

701.2 Trip Report Filing Exemptions

The President and Vice President may file trip reports, at their discretion. Further, if a trip by any employee involves confidential information such as having to do with criminal justice, an abbreviated trip report may be filed simply stating that the nature of the business conducted is confidential and should not be disclosed (at this time).

Employees being recruited or repatriated are exempt from filing trip reports, as are employees who travel on home leave (see Section 308), patients on medical referral, and consultants and other non-employees who by contract or other request accomplish something on behalf of the ROPNG and repmt their findings, give recommendations, etc. in lieu of trip reports.

Employees whose travel is entirely within the Republic ofPalau are exempt from filing a trip report unless specifically required to do so by their supervisor.
