Section 5.0 - Personal Travel in Conjunction with Business Travel

When personal travel is combined with business travel a clear distinction must be made to separate the business travel from the personal travel. Direct billing of expenses may not be available in all cases. Cash advances through the State Auditor will not be granted if personal and business travel are combined.

If personal travel is combined with business travel direct billing will be authorized only if the personal travel begins and ends in the approved business travel destination (no side trips or stopovers for personal travel). If the airfare or other common carrier charges for transportation include stopovers or side trips which would not be the most direct route, a portion of the airfare must be paid by the traveler to represent the portion of the trip associated with the personal travel.

The personal travel dates must be specified on the travel expense account.
