With the growth of our firm, expenses for business related travel have increased significantly. As a result, we've worked out a new travel policy based on a very favorable agreement we've reached with Thompson Travel. This policy should ensure we keep our costs in line with the competition's.
All travel arrangements will be made through Thompson to ensure that we obtain the most advantageous rates for airline tickets, hotel bookings, car rentals, and transportation to and from the airport. Please follow these guidelines:
o Book accommodations only in mid-range hotels (for example,
Ramada Inns, Best Western).
o Choose the least expensive transportation option available,( i.e., taxis
and hotel and airport courtesy cars rather than rental cars).
o Rent cars only from carriers with whom we have a corporate discount.
o Please make every effort to keep meal expenses under $35 per day.
The company will not reimburse for bar bills.
We'll discuss this new policy at the regular Monday staff meeting, but if you have questions in the meantime, please call me.
