Employees and guests are allowed the following per diem for meals for the year beginning Oct 1, 2014 and ending Sept 30, 2015:
Breakfast: $11 per person
Lunch: $14 per person
Supper: $21 per person
These amounts include tax and beverages.
Alcoholic beverages and tips are not reimbursable. Swilly’s charges an addition $5 for processing the PO. This is not refundable on a grant. Expenditures in excess of per diem should be preapproved by your supervisor. In general, department development funds will not be routinely used to finance excess meal expenses.
If you do not take a PO, you will have to pay for the meal and submit the receipt from the restaurant for reimbursement. Mary Kittelson will complete the paperwork for your signature and submit it for payment. The University will mail you a check. This process takes 4 to 6 weeks.
Please note that most restaurants provide a copy of the signature document that reports the total charge only. If they do not provide you with an itemized receipt as well, please ask for one.
