Confused About Factory Visit Expenses and Next Day Off – Need Your Advice!

Dear All,

This is Ravinder, and I have a little bit of confusion about the factory visit expenses that I have to bear. Can anyone guide me on how much I can claim from my HR department? On that day, I arrived late at midnight, 1:00 AM. Should I be granted the next day as a holiday or not? Also, please inform me about the amount of conveyance I should submit to HR.

I am waiting for your valuable reply.

Regards,
Ravinder

From your query, it seems that you have gone on an official tour to visit a factory and came back late at night at 1:00 a.m. Your queries are:

1. How much conveyance expenses should I show to HR to get reimbursement?
2. Am I eligible to get compensatory off the next day because I came back late, i.e., at 1:00 a.m.?

If the above are your questions, I suggest the following:

Conveyance Reimbursement

1. Conveyance reimbursement policies differ from company to company. You need to check the policy in your company. You can claim the traveling/boarding/meals expenses incurred during your official tour, but you need to provide valid bills of at least 80% to get reimbursement.

Compensatory Off for Late Return

2. Most companies provide at least a 1/2 day concession if you return late at night (12:00 a.m. onwards). Check your company's policy on this matter.

Hope this information is sufficient.
