Business Expense policy updated

The University updated the Business Expense policy effective October 11, 2021. This update is considered a major revision to the existing policy, with key changes including:

• Removed the ability for employees to request reimbursement for local mileage or transportation costs, except in the following situations:
• Individuals traveling to a system campus that is not their home campus (Twin Cities is defined as East Bank, West Bank, and St. Paul)
• Individuals traveling to an offsite location because their job duties require them to do so
• When an employee is in travel status (overnight)
• Added language stating parking at an employee’s primary campus location is not an allowable expense
• Created a new appendix for business expenses related to remote work
