POLICY

The company will reimburse employees for expenses that are required and necessary when they travel for business or incur business-related expenses. Those reimbursable travel and business-related expenses must be properly approved in accordance with the signature authority matrix and be in compliance with the guidelines within the Travel and Business-Related Expense Procedures. Since the maximum travel cost savings result from trip avoidance, it is the responsibility of all employees to conscientiously avoid unnecessary business travel by first exhausting alternatives. Virtual communication (e.g., teleconferencing, WebEx) should be considered as a substitute. Employees should first consult with their manager to determine when business-related travel is necessary. When it is determined that a trip is necessary, the Travel and Business-Related Expense Procedures governs the process for making travel arrangements and the expenses that are eligible for reimbursement.
