Travel reimbursement

Similar to last year, after the meeting some travel papers have to be filled out to find out who spent what and who gets to return or receive money. The rules in Dowling are as follows in our case:
You have a per diam that includes 3 daily meals + incidental expenses. The amount varies with destination and time of the year and where you sleep that night. Than, if your travel is purely business, you are entitled of reimbursement for the amount of the tickets ( airplane (at most average economy class ), taxi, cars, buses, trains etc.). Also, you are entitled of the money for the lodging. On the other hand you can charge work hours while at a given meeting.
The good thing is, that when I did the final numbers, I get to get money from the school ( because we got travel advance plus some money from the ACA… ). It is not that hard, as long as you don’t mix business with vacation. In that case there are percentages involved, you start dividing things… Ours is done, tomorrow we are going to submit the papers to accounting and start waiting for some money
