Travel Policy for Sales Personnel
Normally, the travel policy will specify the eligibility of each salesperson, which may vary depending on the grade, such as Sales Executives, Assistant Managers, Area Managers, etc.
Travel Reimbursement
Typically, the travel reimbursement will be based on the kilometers traveled. It may not cover the actual expenses but provide a fixed amount per kilometer to allow the individual to choose whether to use public transport or their own vehicle. For managers, there might be provisions for taking a taxi or receiving a travel allowance at higher rates to use their personal cars.
Food and Accommodation Allowance
To cover food expenses, there will be a daily allowance separate from the salary. The amount will vary based on the city. The travel policy may include provisions for overnight stays, allowing employees to stay in hotels within a specified cost limit. The limit will be determined by the rental rates in different cities, and employees are required to submit hotel bills for reimbursement. In some cases, a fixed composite amount will be assigned for each category of employees, covering both food and accommodation expenses. In such instances, employees do not need to provide receipts but can arrange their own stay and meals, receiving the predetermined fixed amount.
