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 (including Accommodation) should only be made through the university approved travel management company, Key Travel

1. 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. 
2. Train travel : Employees should travel Standard Class. The option to request First Class travel for journeys exceeding two hours has been removed.
3. 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.
4. 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.
