Internal Control Questionnaire

Local travel includes travel within the North Texas area required to perform regular duties/responsibilities by employees.  The local travel reimbursement form should be used when travel does not require an overnight stay or prepayment of a registration.   Below are some guidelines for local travel reimbursement.

bulletCollege employees who are required to travel on college business to a location other than their primary work location are entitled to reimbursement for excess miles traveled.  Part-time faculty and faculty performing extra service/overload assignments are not eligible for local travel reimbursement.
bulletTravel is reimbursed only when total miles exceed the employee's normal driving distance to and from work.  (Example:  Normal home to work distance is 32 miles and home to DFW is 47 miles; reimbursement from home to the airport would be 15 miles {47 - 32}.)
bulletThe allowable mileage between two points is the shortest route between those two points.
bulletMileage is reimbursed at $0.30 per mile.
bulletParking and toll fees are reimbursable when a receipt or statement of actual expenditures, signed by the employee, is attached to the request form.
bulletApproved per diem meals are reimbursed at the following allowable rates:
bulletBreakfast    $  6.00
