Travel Handbook
Please note that there are two new TRU Expense Policies and can be viewed at:
Expenses: Travel
Expenses: Entertainment, Hosting and Hospitality
Introduction and Purpose:
This information should be helpful when used as a reference for travel-related questions and reflects current operational policy and procedures.
Travel supported by research grants or contracts must comply with TRU regulations and policies, unless indicated otherwise by the granting agency. When contemplating travel funded by research accounts, it is important to understand the guidelines that must be followed. A review of the agency policy guide book or terms of the contract will usually indicate the procedure to be followed.
Timing of Cheques - Travel Advances or Expenses:
Cheques for advances or expenses are produced weekly, and all requisitions should be properly approved and coded then forwarded to the Finance Division for processing. Advance cheques will be produced approximately two weeks prior to your departure unless otherwise requested.
As U.S. cheques are processed bi-monthly, please submit U.S. travel advances at least one month prior to departure. Emergency travel requiring manual cheque advances should be brought to the Accounting Manager with proper explanation, and we will process them as soon as possible.
