4.1 Self. An employee in Travel Status may be reimbursed for the cost of meals when a trip spans one or more normal mealtimes. Tips should be made on the basis of local customs but may not exceed 20% of the pre-tax bill. 4.2 Other Employees. Each employee should pay for and report the cost of their meal on their own expense report. If separate checks are not available or convenient, the most senior employee should pay for and report the cost of the bill. If separate checks are not available or convenient and the employees are the same level if one employee pays, he/she should submit the expense and list all employees in attendance. 4.3 Guests. Meals bought for guests (non-company employees) and the employee(s) hosting these guests are permissible. Expenditures in this category should be reasonable and consistent with business necessity. Refer to the sections in this Policy regarding Expense Reporting for further guidance on reporting business meals.
