Reason for Recommended Action/Background
The Travel and Employee Expense policy has existed in its current form since 2006. This revised policy, as proposed, is a major revision to simplify travel policy, modernize the policy to recent trends in travel expenses, and harmonize it with the County's purchase card policy. This rewrite achieves all those goals. Some major elements of the revision are: 1) Clarifying when meals are reimbursable when on county travel, 2) clarifying what are allowable reimbursable expenses for transportation, 3) clarifying when receipts are and are not required for certain small value transactions, and 4) restructuring and clarifying employee reimbursement for employee engagement events.
Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies)
All Department Heads had the opportunity to review and comment on the Travel and Employee Reimbursement policy.
