Travel expenses for members of a non-employed's family are not reimbursable. No travel advances will be made to non-state employees. Prospective Professional Employees Department chairs are authorized to approve reimbursement of transportation expenses of prospective professional employees visiting state agencies for employment interviews. The amount of savings must be documented with a statement from the airline company agent specifying the amount of funds saved by using the delayed travel option. This statement should be attached to the special travel request.
Prior approval is required.
Students Students at state institutions who travel on official state business and whose expenses are paid or reimbursed by the State of North Carolina are subject to these regulations, including statutory subsistence allowances, to the same extent as are state employees. Travel by students for the purpose of participating in athletic contests and activities of student organizations must be paid from funds supporting the particular organization or activity, not state funds. Attendants State policy does not permit the payment of salaries for attendants for handicapped employees. Conferences External Conferences External conferences are those that involve the attendance of persons other than the employees of a single state department, institution, or agency. Payment for meals is allowable if included in the registration fee, but the fee must not consist exclusively of meal charges, or it will not be allowable unless it meets overnight travel criteria.
