A viable travel policy limits expenses

Article Abstract:

Firms interested in improving the way employee expenses are handled may achieve positive results by establishing travel policies because the procedures help to monitor costs. Effective travel policies should include guidelines and standards for business entertainment and travel practices, instructions on expense reporting and documentation, and guidelines for placing reservations. To be effective, however, firms need to make sure policies have the support of management, and meetings should be held to inform employees about the policies. A sample travel policy is presented to illustrate aspects of developing travel policy procedures.
