The basis for all business travel is the State Travel Expenses Act (LRKG)*. When arranging/approving and carrying out business trips, particular attention must be paid to the principles of economy and efficiency. Travel should only be undertaken if it is necessary for business reasons and if it is not possible or practical to conduct the business in a more cost-effective manner, in particular by using digital communication options. When choosing a means of transport, climate protection aspects must be taken into account in addition to economic considerations. As a general rule, the reimbursement principle applies, i.e. the business traveller must pay any costs incurred in connection with a business trip in advance. The costs incurred will be reimbursed after the trip in accordance with the LRKG*. Business travellers may, upon request, be granted an advance payment on the expected travel expense reimbursement (minimum �100). You can find the relevant form in our index under the letter A.
*in exceptions BRKG, third-party funding requirements and, if applicable, internal guidelines

 

Please also note the exclusion period of 6 months after the end of the business trip (§3 (1) sentence 1 LRKG), within which your travel expense report must be received by the travel department. The traveller is responsible for this. After that, settlement is no longer possible.
