Expenses Policy Update September 2020
Due to the Covid-19 crisis and as part of the University’s response to the Climate Emergency, two significant changes plus a number of amendments have been made to the University’s travel policy:
- Until further notice, all overseas travel bookings should only be made through the university approved travel management company, Key Travel
- Rail should be the default mode of transport for all UK & European journeys of up to 6 hours, even if the financial cost is higher than other forms of transport.
-
Train travel : Employees should travel Standard Class. The option to request First Class travel for journeys exceeding two hours has been removed.
-
Car hire: Road journeys exceeding 100 business miles per day should only be considered where travel by train is not a viable option, and a hired vehicle, rather than a private one, should be the preferred option.
-
Air travel :UK air travel requires the approval of the HoD and should be notified to FinRegs@warwick.ac.uk via the departmental FinRegs Champion (Sally Hicks for HR), along with justification for the reason for choosing air travel.
- Air travel should normally be in Economy Class.
- A “Green Levy” of £15 will be charged to the Department for all UK and European flights.
- A “Green Levy” of £60 will be charged to the Department for all non-European flights.
