Urgent Help Needed: What Are Standard Reimbursements in Travel Policy for Sales and Marketing?

Hi All,

We are in the process of revising our policy. Can anybody tell me what is the standard amount reimbursed in the TRAVEL POLICY? It should include:

Staying Policy - Hotels and accommodation, food, and all.
Traveling - How much should be reimbursed for their travel to another place for office work.

I want to know specifically for Sales and Marketing people. Please help me with this as it's really urgent.

Thanks and Regards,
Wricha

Hi all,

I was asked to design a Travel Policy for our company. Ours is a small company with 20 people. It's a payroll outsourcing company. Please, can anyone help me in designing a travel policy?

Hi Supraja,

I have some information on the Travel Policy. I don't have much idea about it but had downloaded this information for some reference. Please go through the attachment and see if it would be of any use to you.

Hi Sudha,

Thanks for your help. I am also from Hyderabad. Can you tell me which company you are working for and your experience?

Dear Wrichakul,

There is a saying, "Cut clothes as per your size," which means that your Travel Policy will be based on the capacity of the Organization.

The common practice is as follows:

First, divide your employees by their rank into groups and rank the locations: Metro City, City, Towns, etc. Based on the above, determine the following:

1) Mode and class of travel for each group (Train/Plane; Economy/Business, 1AC, 2AC, etc.)
2) Mode of local conveyance for each group: Taxi, Auto, Bus
3) Dearness Allowance against each class of location.
4) Hotel expenditure against groups of employees and rank of city (5*, 4*, Budget, etc.).
5) Other incidental expenses like laundry, telephones, entertainment, etc.

You can either pay the bills directly (where applicable) or reimburse on the production of bills on actuals as per limit.

Please revert back for further assistance.

Kind Regards,

Hi,

As Swastik has covered most of the points, I would like to add that there should be a different range for different grades. Most companies have specific limits for field staff, and the reimbursement is done based on actuals for managers. There can be different formats for the field staff and people who travel rarely from the Head office. If you are facing any problems in attaching these formats, please send me your email ID, and I can send you a specimen format.

Cheers,
Archna

Dear Archna,

As I have already stated in the beginning of my post "Cut your cloth according to your size," it is up to the company to decide from which rank it will reimburse from the actuals.

Hi All,

I was asked to develop a PowerPoint presentation on Statutory compliances in India. Please, can anyone help me with this?

Mr. Swastik is right. It depends mainly on the size of your organization. As he said, you need to grade them in order to allow certain facilities to your employees, i.e., from Executive to Vice President as the case may be.

I have a small company too. And the policies out there are too corporate for us. Did anyone find anything that's just simple that will not take a WEEK to go over?
