INTRODUCTION
1) Employees may be paid travel expenses when they are
required to travel away from their "official station" on
university business.
2) The main function of the Financial Accounting Travel Office
is:
•To process travel requisitions in a timely and accurate
manner
•To follow regulations of the State of Arkansas
3) Travel may only be processed when all state-required and
university-required approvals and/or documents have been
completed and received by the Financial Accounting Travel
Office.
Employees traveling on official business must
complete and sign the Authorization to Operate
State Vehicles and Private Vehicles on State
Business VSP-1 form if they have not already done so when hired.
All drivers should be provided with copies of their VSP-1 and the Driving
Safety Tips. For more information, please see the Physical Plant website at

The State of Arkansas requires all state agencies that
participate in the state Master Fleet Insurance Policy to
participate in the state Vehicle Safety Program. This program
requires that all drivers of state vehicles, or drivers of personal
vehicles on state business, maintain an appropriate valid
driver's license.
Beginning April 2, 2001, UCA will require all drivers of state
vehicles, and all drivers of private vehicles on state business, to
have on file with the Physical Plant a signed form VSP-1. Form
VSP-1 authorizes access to driving records by certain UCA staff.
The Vehicle Safety Program provides updates to UCA of any
change in status of a current driver.
Student Driving
UCA has no insurance to cover students
driving personal or rental vehicles. If a
car with a student driver is involved in a
wreck, UCA could be sued. If a UCA
employee is driving students and has a
wreck, the employee's insurance is
primary, but UCA has secondary
insurance.
Mileages
•The traveler’s insurance is primary. Rule 4 of the travel regulations says,
“The state assumes no responsibility for any maintenance, insurance, operational
costs, accidents, or fines incurred by the operator of the vehicle while on official
business for the state.”
•The license plate number must be noted on the TR-1.
•Mileage can be found at:
http://www.randmcnally.com/rmc/directions/dirGetDirectionsInput
2Pt.jsp?cmty=0
•The shortest route must be selected.
•If leaving directly from the residence, mileage shall be reimbursed
between the travel site destination and the employee's official station
or residence whichever is less.
•Vicinity miles must be listed separately on the day it was incurred.
•If using a UCA vehicle or a rental, mileage will not be paid. Gas is put
on the credit card that is provided with the UCA vehicle.
Lodging
•The daily maximum for lodging is limited by the federal per-diem
rate found at http://www.gsa.gov/portal/category/21287
•An itemized receipt/s
zero balance
tax breakdown
traveler’s name.
•Special lodging authorization - over the maximum daily allowable
rate.
•Foreign travel - 10% must be deducted from the price of lodging
that is listed on the federal per-diem rate. This is a state regulation.
•As of September 1, 2011, one state employee can’t pay for another
state employee’s travel expenses.
Sharing Rooms
• A faculty or staff member should not
share a room with a student.
• Students may share rooms.
• Faculty and staff may share rooms.

from another university but not with a
student.

Breakfast divide the daily limit by 6
Lunch divide the daily limit by 3
Dinner divide the daily limit by 2
First & Last 75% of the daily limit and the last day of travel will normally be
Day of Travel Conway.
UCA does not have a PER DIEM.
A TRAVELER MAY ONLY CLAIM ACTUAL EXPENDITURES UP TO THE MAXIMUM.
For the daily meal maximum permitted on travel, see the website address at
http://www.gsa.gov/portal/category/21287.
Allowable meal expenses are determined by the departure and return times.
oA traveler must leave at or before 6:00 a.m. to claim breakfast
oA traveler must leave before 1:00 p.m. to claim lunch.
oA traveler must return at 11:00 a.m. or after to claim lunch.
oA traveler must return at or after 6:00 p.m. to claim dinner.
For example, on a trip to Oklahoma City, OK the maximum
allowed for meals is $49.50 (75% of $66.00) for a full day’s
travel.
Breakfast: You leave at 5:30 a.m. so the maximum for
breakfast is $11.00, but only $10.25 is spent.
Lunch: You spend $20.50 and the maximum for lunch is
$22.00.
Dinner: You spend $30.35 and the maximum for dinner is
$33.00.
Your actual total for the day was $61.10, but only be $49.50
may be claimed for reimbursement since this is the first day
of travel (75% of the $66.00).
On the return trip from Oklahoma City, OK the maximum
allowed for meals is $34.50 (75% of $46.00).
Breakfast: You spend $7.50 and the maximum for breakfast is
$11.00.
Lunch: You spend $14.50 and the maximum for lunch is
$22.00.
You arrive home at 5:00 p.m. Thus you spent $22.00 for
meals the last day of travel. You would be reimbursed only
the $22.00 of your actual expenses for meals.
Tips are limited to 15% per
meal, not to exceed the
maximum meal allowance
per day.
