Two Blog questions
1. What are county policies
regarding reimbursement for meals? Has that changed? Are you
following Federal guidelines?
2. What are county policies for mileage
reimbursement for own car between offices, over a certain miles? Do
you encourage use of agency vehicles?
Thank you

1)Overnight meals are reimbursed 100% up to the limits. Brkfst = $15.00, Lunch = $15.00 and Dinner = $20.00 including the tip. Itemized receipt is required. Non-overnight meals are reimbursed through payroll. Itemized receipt is required. This has not changed. 2) Personal cars can be used and reimbursed if a county care is not available or if it is more cost effective and approved by the supervisor before the trip. We do encourage the use of the county cars.
ReplyDelete1) For 2020 Norman switched to reimbursing $44/day, itemized receipts are needed, alcohol and tips are not reimbursed.
ReplyDelete2) The use of county cars is encouraged. Approval is needed when taking a personal vehicle in order to get reimbursed the federal mileage rate. Reasons we would approve a personal vehicle: when no county cars are available, if it's more cost effective to drive your own (ex. if you would be getting overtime to come back to the office rather than just going to your home), if the roads are bad and you would still like to go/need to go (we only have Impalas and most of our workers have personal vehicles with all wheel drive).
