Calculating Reimbursable Mileage and Ground Transportation

Employee leaves the office mid-day to attend an off-site business event (intercampus/local), and returns to the office after the event.

• Reimbursable miles: Actual miles driven for segments listed (primary work location/event/primary work location). In Concur, enter those waypoints and do not deduct any commute. Enter parking as a separate expense if applicable.​
• Ground transportation: Costs limited to the amount that is reimbursable for mileage/parking in a personal vehicle. You should not use Travel Card for intercampus/local ground transportation (if you do, classify that expense in Concur as Personal Travel Charge-not reimbursable). Instead, enter equivalent mileage/parking expense as noted above, using the Mileage Calculator.

Employee leaves from home, goes directly to an off-site business event (intercampus/local), and returns directly home after the event.

• Reimbursable miles: On a normal workday: miles driven that day for the segments listed (home/event/home) minus the normal (round-trip) commute (home/primary work location/home). On a non-normal workday: actual miles driven. In Concur, enter waypoints in Mileage Calculator and deduct round-trip commute or not, depending on the day of the drive. Enter parking as a separate expense if applicable.​
