Travel Expenses and Reimbursements

COVID Restrictions

In light of the evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, its impact on our community and the advent of increased vaccination opportunities, we must balance restrictions on activities in compliance with public health directives and the desire to promote and facilitate learning and research.

Policy Statement

Any travel booked during a university moratorium, regardless of when it is scheduled to take place, will not be eligible for reimbursement.

Those who must travel should consult thisCDC resourceand thisUS State Department resourceto understand the level of risk.Please also consult theNY State COVID-19 Travel Advisoryfor New York State’s most current requirements.

At this time, due to the current pandemic conditions, only essential travel will be permitted and must be approved by the relevant Executive Leadership (EL) member.

Essential travel includes:

• Undergraduate Students: The travel is a required part of a degree program or grant-funded project, and the objective of the travel cannot be postponed or accomplished remotely. Travel that is funded through the Student Government Association must be approved in advance by the Vice President for Student Affairs. Intercollegiate athletic competition is permissible in adherence with NE10 and NCAA guidelines.
• Graduate/Professional Students: The travel is a required part of a degree program or grant-funded project, or there is another compelling University-related reason, as confirmed by the relevant dean or designee (e.g. research in support of COVID response; time-sensitive and location-specific research), and the objective of the travel cannot be postponed or accomplished remotely without significant hardship or loss of grant funding. Travel that is funded through the Graduate Student Council must be approved in advance by the Vice President for Student Affairs.
• Faculty and Staff: The travel is an operational/academic necessity (e.g., the travel is mission-critical for the University); urgent or time-sensitive (e.g., necessary to preserve research, or a one-time academic/business opportunity of a fleeting nature); necessary to promote health/safety (e.g., travel related to COVID research/relief efforts); or is necessary to avoid potential harm (e.g., postponing or foregoing the travel would cause significant academic, operational, financial, or legal harm to the traveler or the University), as confirmed by the relevant department chair/unit head. Faculty travel will be consistent with the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), but may be superseded by University policy in emergency circumstances (e.g. the COVID pandemic).

International Travel

2020年春天，由于COVID-19大流行在全球恶化，阿德尔菲暂停了国际旅行。这一决定符合美国疾病控制与预防中心的建议，既不建议进行任何非必要的国际旅行，也不建议在许多相关国家增加COVID-19传播的风险。

On May 19, 2021, the CDC lifted their guidance limiting international travel to essential only. Effective on that date, non-essential international travel was once again made consistent with CDC best practice, provided that certain protective criteria are met (including the traveler being fully vaccinated).

In light of this development, and ongoing data provided by the CDC which demonstrates each country’s relative risk of COVID-19 transmission, international travel by members of the Adelphi community is once again permitted with the following caveats:

1. Individuals traveling outside of the United States must fully comply with allCDC international travel recommendationsin place at the time of their travel. Currently, this includes a vaccination requirement, COVID-19 testing requirements, certain transit behaviors (such as mask wearing on airplanes), and more.
2. The country/countries the individual will be traveling to must have aCOVID-19 Risk Assessment Level of 3 or lower.
3. Individuals traveling internationally must agree to comply with all COVID-19 mitigation measures put in place by their destination country/countries.
4. Individuals must understand and agree that if the situation with COVID-19 worsens in the future, and Adelphi determines that it is in the best interest of our campus community to once again limit international travel, their scheduled/pending trip may be cancelled or they may be required to return to the United States.

These decisions were made in the interest of the health and safety of our community, taking into account current public health guidance and the dynamic nature of the COVID-19 domestic and global response. We will continue to reassess this guidance and will update these temporary restrictions as appropriate.

General Policy Statement

This document sets forth policies to govern domestic and international travel on authorized Adelphi University business. This document also includes policies governing the payment of or reimbursement for business-related travel expenses incurred by travelers. Academic or Administrative Units may impose further restrictions based on budgetary or operational needs. This policy does not cover relocation.

All travelers are governed by, and expected to comply with, the UniversityCode of Conductwhile traveling on university business.

Reason for Policy/Purpose

This policy, along with the University guidelines and procedures, is intended to:

1. Provide a clear and comprehensive description of the policies and procedures for travel and payment or reimbursement of travel expenses.
2. Provide for safe travel for those traveling on University business.
3. Reduce administrative burden.
4. Ensure that the University and its travelers receive the best value for their travel dollars.

Policy

General Guidelines

学校经费不得用于个人或非因公出差的党员的旅行。此外，与商务旅行相关的个人旅行费用将不会得到补偿。这项政策适用于所有大学商务旅行，无论资金来源。

The term “sponsored travel” is defined as travel where expenses are paid by University funds resulting from grants awarded to the University. Specific stipulations set forth by the sponsoring entity supersede this policy when the two conflict. Travelers should refer to the “Additional Requirements for Sponsored Travel，并向资助项目办公室和财务办公室咨询，以获得进一步指导。

All travel expenses must meet federal regulations, including IRS rules on “accountable plans.” Under these rules, travelers will be reimbursed tax-free for certain travel expenses provided the following three conditions are satisfied:

• Payments or reimbursements must be legitimate expenses as defined by this policy and be paid or incurred by the traveler in connection with his or her services to the University;
• 旅行者必须在旅行结束日期后60天内，通过文件证明日期、地点、金额、参会者姓名(大学和非大学个人)以及每笔费用的明确业务用途，以避免部分或全部报销被视为应纳税工资;and
• Advanced amounts (in rare instances) in excess of these expenses must be returned within 60 days after the trip end date.

Please note:IRS regulations allow 60 days to account for expenses before they become taxable; however University policy requires all expenses to be accounted for within 30 days of the conclusion of the trip.

Travelers are strongly encouraged to book travel at least 21 days in advance to yield the best overall value for the University.

In the event that travel must be changed or cancelled for business conflicts or illness, the University will pay all fees that can’t be refunded. In the event that there is a resulting credit, this credit must be applied to the current or subsequent business trip. Per IRS guidelines, under no circumstances can unused tickets be used for personal travel. Change fees and cancellation fees incurred other than those for a University related business conflict and/or illness will be at the expense of the traveler. If, for any reason, the employee cannot attend the conference, or fulfill the reservation for the hotel, the employee must cancel the reservation directly on the Portal and inform the Procurement Department immediately of this change.

Booking Travel

The University’s approved travel management partner is Corporate Travel Management (CTM). All business travel (including airfare, rail, rental cars, and hotels) booked through the CTM Portal will be billed directly to the University. Separate reimbursement requests will not be considered. The CTM Portal is accessible throughecampus.

The Procurement Department maintains travel related discounts with preferred vendors within the CTM Portal. Use of the CTM Portal for booking travel will ensure you are receiving the best pricing.

Approvals

All travel must be approved by the appropriate Budget Approver for the fund being charged, before the trip will be confirmed. Travel requested without sufficient budget may be declined.

Travel reimbursements must be signed by the employee’s immediate supervisor prior to submission to Accounts Payable.

旅行者不能批准自己的旅行和/或费用。

本政策的所有例外必须得到适当的EL成员的书面批准。

Traveler Responsibilities

For University-funded travel, travelers are required to seek pre-approval from the appropriate department头/椅子/院长是适用的。This allows the traveler and approver to agree on expected costs before travel is booked and facilitates approval and repayment of expense reimbursement post-travel.

Employees must provide their supervisor with emergency contact information to be used in case of emergencies while the employee is traveling on University business.

Individual travelers are responsible for submitting completed, accurate reimbursement forms within 30 days of trip completion. Failure to do so may prevent travelers from being reimbursed.旅行结束后超过60天提交的旅行费用报告将导致部分或全部报销被视为应纳税工资，并在旅行者的W2表格中作为额外工资报告。

Before traveling internationally, travelers with U.S. Citizenship are strongly encouraged to register with STEP (Smart Traveler Enrollment Program)so that the local U.S. Embassy can contact the traveler in an emergency.

Expense Approver Responsibilities

Expense approvers should confirm that expense reimbursement requests are accompanied by required receipts, that receipt totals match requested amounts, that all amounts are listed with the proper general ledger (GL) chart string, adequate budget balance in the listed chart string, and that dates, locations, traveler signatures, and required approvals and documentation are provided.

For sponsored travel, travelers must follow the requirements from the sponsoring agency for the appropriate approvals, which typically require approval of the project director / principal investigator. The Finance Office is responsible for ensuring the expenses for reimbursement meet sponsored project requirements

Finance Office Reimbursement Responsibilities

The Finance Office will perform an independent review of expense reimbursement requests and University Credit Card reconciliations to ensure that receipt totals match requested amounts, that all amounts are listed with a general ledger (GL) chart string matched to the appropriate unit, that approvals are present in the form of signatures from the appropriate authorities, that the business purpose is clearly stated, that dates and locations are provided, and that the documentation provided is compliant with relevant University policies.

Reimbursement requests that are not sufficiently documented, or that include inappropriate / unallowable expenses as defined by this policy will be returned to the individual requesting reimbursement and will not be reimbursed until satisfactory documentation is provided.

Actual Expense Reimbursement & Supporting Documentation

所有的交易都需要详细的收据，除了小费和其他杂费，通常没有收据。根据美国国税局的指导方针，这包括住宿费、交通费和餐费。对于大学商务旅行以外的人员，只有在姓名、职位、所属大学和商务目的明确的情况下，才能报销餐费。没有此信息的请求将不会得到补偿。

如果大学旅行与出席会议有关，必须在费用报告中附上会议手册，注明会议日期、会议议程和出席费用。同样，当大学赞助一个开放日、招聘会议或类似的活动时，娱乐支出必须有足够的商业目的支持，包括一份邀请函(如果有的话)和一份与会者名单。

除了通常出现在信用卡收据上的汇总费用外，还应提交包括分项费用在内的详细收据。

In the event the traveler cannot obtain a receipt, a detailed explanation of why a receipt is not available must be provided, including the date, place, amount, and explicit business purpose of each expense. This explanation must be signed and approved by the traveler’s expense approver before charges will be reimbursed. Final discretion in reimbursing such expenditures lies with the Finance Office. Any travelers expecting to travel to areas where receipts may be difficult to obtain are encouraged to discuss the matter with their expense approver prior to booking travel.

Travel Advances

在极端情况下，不能使用自己的个人信用卡的旅行者可以要求预支旅行费用。然而，旅行预支将不会发放给逾期或拖欠预支或违反大学信用卡的旅行者。

The individual requesting the advance must complete aCheck Advance Requisition说明金额、预支的目的和要求预支的日期。

申请单必须由使用预付款的个人和员工的直接主管签署。Additionally, requests for athletic travel advances must be accompanied by anAthletic Travel Advance Request form.

Employees who receive an advance will be required to sign aTravel/Cash Advance Release form; the signature of an Administrative Assistant or other “authorized representative” will not be accepted.

Once received, the individual assumes total responsibility for the security and subsequent accounting of the advance.The individual who receives the advance bears the responsibility of reimbursing the University for an advance which is lost or stolen, even if the theft occurs on University property.

A final accounting for the advance must be submitted on aTravel Expense Reportto the Finance Office within 30 days upon completion of University business. If an employee fails to properly account for an advance within the 30-day requirement, the full amount of the advance will be deducted from the employee’s paycheck.

All expenditures must be supported by receipts. Only original receipts will be accepted. Therefore, expenditures denied for lack of documentation or considered to be improper as to purpose must be repaid to the University in cash.

Any unused portion of the advance must be returned to the University by depositing the unused funds at the Cashier’s office and attaching the payment receipt to the accounting for the advance.

Please consult with the Finance Office if you have any questions regarding proper accountability.

Personal cash advances, loans to employees, and pay advances are not available.

Transportation and Lodging

The Procurement Department has identified preferred vendors and negotiated rates. Travelers are encouraged to use these vendors through the CTM Portal, accessible througheCampus.

When booking airfare, hotel, rental cars, bus, or rail travel,旅行者必须向采购部门提供旅行批准表和采购订单申请表。通过使用CTM门户网站，这些费用将直接记入大学的信用卡。员工将不需要支付这些费用，并在完成出差后寻求报销。

Only economy airline travel is permitted.任何升级都不会得到补偿。

Employees will not be reimbursed for airline tickets submitted on theirTravel Expense Report. For specific information on procedures to follow, see the Purchasing section of the FARG.

When booking travel on the CTM Portal travelers may utilize frequent traveler programs to earn points on their purchases. However, employees are still expected to purchase the lowest fare ticket available that meets their travel needs,regardless of reward program usage. Flight charges will not be reimbursed if booked using travel reward points (meaning there was no out of pocket cost to the employee). Membership fees for frequent traveler programs are also not reimbursable.

Trips in personal vehicles of over 300 miles one way must be approved by the Finance Office in advance of travel. Travelers are encouraged to consider air, rail, or car rental alternatives if they are less expensive options before using their personal vehicles for long distance travel.

The University does not cover any automobile insurance for a traveler who drives his/her personal vehicle on University business. The traveler is responsible for his/her own automobile insurance.

Business trips will be reimbursed up to the current IRS authorized mileage rate (irs.gov) for miles incurred rounded down to the nearest penny; travelers must take a direct route to their final destination. Mileage-based reimbursement covers all costs related to the operation of the vehicle, including service, maintenance, insurance, depreciation, and fuel. These expenses will not be reimbursed separately. Mileage reimbursement may only be submitted by the vehicle owner or driver.

Parking fees and highway tolls will be reimbursed. Proof of tolls (ie. eZPass statement) are required to support reimbursement requests. Tickets, fines, and/or lock-out fees will not be reimbursed.

Only employees are eligible for vehicle rentals. Non-employees will not be considered.

Rental vehicles may only be used when the overall cost of the rental is less than the cost of other reasonably convenient means of transportation, such as taxi, hotel or airport shuttle, or car service (Uber/Lyft), or when there is no other means of transportation.

Individual travelers may rent economy/compact vehicles or smaller if traveling individually or full-sized vehicles if there are at least three travelers traveling together. Travelers are encouraged to share cars when traveling in groups.

Only authorized drivers are permitted to rent a car. To become an authorized driver, you must take a driver safety class and submit your information to the TransportationManager in Public Safety.

Vehicle rental agencies may have minimum age requirements.

“Collision damage waivers,” also referred to as “loss damage waivers,”are included in our negotiated rates with Enterprise only. Do not pay for these additional services when renting through Enterprise.

A sabbatical is considered a paid leave; therefore, faculty on sabbatical typically will be eligible to receive reimbursement for pre-approved, University related travel expenses.

Additional Requirements for Sponsored Travel

Sponsored funding rules vary with the terms of the grant. Overall federal grant regulations are detailed in the Office of Management and Budget’s Uniform Grant Guidance (Omni Circular). This section provides guidance on key aspects of these requirements. Sponsoring agencies for a particular grant may have other requirements. If you are unsure of specific travel requirements, contact the Office of Sponsored Projects or the Finance Office before arranging travel. Here are some of the rules that are most frequently asked about:

• 联邦法规禁止在联邦资助的研究项目中使用商务或头等舱机票，除非得到资助发起人的特别批准，并由资助项目办公室或财务办公室记录。未经批准的报销申请将被拒绝。
