Policy Change – Business Purposes 402.03 Travel Arrangements and Reimbursable Expenses A. GENERAL 1. Reservations a. Travel reservations should be made on the dates required to meet business needs only.   Any exceptions for business purposes must be pre-approved by the Accounting Manager/Designee and documented by completing the Travel Savings Justification for Exception to Policy (Form 402-8). Note: If the airline cost savings is $1400 or less OR if the total savings is less than $800 after completing Form 402-8, then the exception will not be granted due to labor cost avoidance. Travel changes beyond the control of the traveler during the planned trip should be coordinated with Travel Services. 11/9/2018

Why Change Policy? Addresses cost of labor in conjunction with perceived travel savings, Traveler, Travel Coordinator, Travel Services, & Managers Two step threshold ($1400/$800), Airline ticket “at a glance” qualifier quickly identifies path forward Unable to determine if request was for business or personal benefit, 11/9/2018

If routing is for personal preference, (e.g. the departure or arrival airport is not PHF, ORF, or RIC, or the traveler uses a POV instead of flying) do not complete this form. Please complete form 402-9 - Airfare Cost Comparison for Travel Including Personal Days / Personal Routing Preference. Travel Policy 402-03.A.1.a. states "Any exceptions must be pre-approved by the Accounting Manager/Designee and documented by completing the Travel Savings Justifiction Form (Form 402-08).

Policy Change – Personal Preference 402.03 Travel Arrangements and Reimbursable Expenses A. GENERAL 1. Reservations b. Should a traveler plan in advance to take an outgoing or return flight requiring extra days attributable to personal time, or if routing is for personal preference (airport other than PHF, ORF, RIC, or use of POV vs. Flying), the traveler is responsible for all additional costs (e.g. lodging, per diem, rental car, etc.).   These costs are not netted against any cost savings from the airline ticket cost. Use Airfare Cost Comparison for Travel Including Personal Days or Routing for Personal Preference (Form 402-9) to assist with this calculation. NOTE – this request does not require Travel Services pre-approval but should be attached to the TA or ER along with cost comparisons. 11/9/2018
