Costs for tickets, guest meals and similar extraordinary expenses will not be reimbursed unless such charges relate directly to the purpose of the trip and are on the approved Travel Authorization.
Charges for airport parking (other than Bradley International Airport) are reimbursable. If over $25.00, a receipt is required.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the courtesy employee parking program is suspended until further notice as all surface parking lots at Bradley International Airport are currently closed. State employees traveling on business will be directed to park in the parking garage and will need to pay for parking upon exiting. Travelers will need to seek reimbursement from the agency requiring their travel upon return.
Expenditures for non-business related personal expenses such as theater tickets, entertainment, toiletries and liquor are not reimbursable.
Reimbursement is made for actual expenses only and may differ from the estimated costs on the Travel Authorization.
Occasionally, an employee may purchase books, videos or audio tapes at a conference or workshop that was not included on the original Travel Authorization. A revised Travel Authorization form must be submitted in order to claim reimbursement.
