3.6.2 Meals and Incidental Expenses
The authorized meal per diem rate may be claimed for each meal the traveler would normally have eaten while traveling. If a meal is included in a conference fee the meal shall not be claimed for reimbursement unless the meal is determined to be inadequate by the traveler. If a meal provided by a commercial carrier as part of the transportation ticket is deemed inadequate by the traveler then the per diem for that meal can be claimed. The authorized incidental expense per diem may be claimed for each overnight stay.
The incidental expense per diem may be used for personal telephone calls, miscellaneous incidental tips such as bellhops and maids, and other miscellaneous items. The chief executive officer, or a delegate, of an agency or institution of higher education may approve a higher incidental expense per diem rate for international travel based on the traveler's destination. Under no circumstance shall the higher incidental per diem rate exceed $15.00 per overnight stay.
Under no circumstances shall an employee claim more than the established per diem rate. Receipts for meals are not required.
