DOMESTIC & FOREIGN AIR TRAVEL (continued)
Guidelines for Tips and Gratuities:
Tipping a porter, bellman, chamberperson, or waiter, should be
based on the quality of service rendered. The college will reimburse
reasonable gratuities. The following are suggested guidelines:
- Airport porters $1 per bag
- Hotel bellmen $1 per bag
- Restaurant waitstaff 15%
- Chamberpersons $1 per night
- Taxi drivers 15%
Please check local customs for appropriate tipping when traveling
abroad. Some hotels and restaurants include a gratuity in the price,
in which case a tip is not necessary.
Converting Foreign Currencies:
When you pay directly in foreign currencies for expenses incurred
you are reimbursed in United States dollars at the actual exchange
rate for the travel period. Receipts such as foreign currency exchange
receipt or a credit card billing statement must support those expenses.
All expenses must be recorded in United States dollars, with the
currency conversion rate clearly noted on the Travel Expense voucher
and on all supporting receipts. During Voucher Audit, the Payment
Coordinator will use the conversion rate listed on the Internet
to check for reasonableness.
