- Meals and Incidental Expenses (M&IE)
-
The current Meals and Incidental Expenses (M&IE) reimbursement ceiling stands at $79 per day. Should your daily expenses amount to $79 or more, receipts must be provided as per policy.
When submitting expenses for your daily meals and incidentals, please adhere to our policy by claiming only actual expenses incurred. While we don't mandate paid receipts for Meals and Incidental Expenses (M&IE), we request that you retain them until reimbursement is processed.
To record daily M&IE, you are required to download a copy of this meal log and log actual expenses incurred including tax and tips (do not round). You are required to complete all sections in yellow and provide them to your Admin Support Team upon completion of your trip. If you hit the daily ceiling of $79 or above, the log will indicate that receipts are needed and you will be required to submit them for reimbursement.
