Expense Policy Announcement – July 21, 2016

All air travel tickets must be purchased through the Hospital’s approved travel agency.  This will ensure lowest possible rate for travel and the cost will charged directly to your research project, so there will be no need for use of personal credit card/funds.

The Travel Request Form must be completed and approved before submitting to your respective Research Financial Analyst in the Office of Research Administration for processing.   Your Research Financial Analyst will review, approve and arrange to submit the travel agent for processing.

Where it has been established that there is no preferred rate option with St. Michael’s approved travel agency, staff are permitted to book alternate economical air fare.  In the rare occasions when the hospital travel agency is unable to book your airfare, the cost for air travel will need to be reimbursed via submission of an expense report.

Boarding passes will no longer be required as backup to support reimbursement of an airfare charge for flights booked through the Hospital’s approved travel agency. A copy of the flight itinerary, however, must be included to claim reimbursement.
