Non-Employee Travel
Non-Employee Travelers are individuals authorized to travel on behalf of Rowan University. (Examples of non-employees may include, a candidate, parent, guest speaker, honorarium, etc.). Non-Employee reimbursements are for reasonable and allowable expenses and shall be subject to departmental budget limits. Non-Employees, with the exception of candidates and guest speakers, require pre-approval when traveling overnight.
The Non-Employee Travel Request, domestic or international depending on location, should be completed. Once the traveler returns from their trip and reimbursement needs to be made, the Non-Employee Travel Expense Form should be utilized. All original and itemized receipts in addition to proof of payment must be provided and attached to the form.
The Non-Employee Travel Expense form was designed to be easier to complete by having categories listed on the drop down menu, auto-fill calculation columns, predetermined IRS standard mileage rate, the ability to complete one form and include other travel related fees incurred during the day travel. The form was also created to align with the current federal, state and university rates. (Examples on the Expense form: mileage, tolls, registration, one day conference, workshop, training, meetings, etc.)

Mileage
Accounts Payable Department has created a more efficient way to accept mileage submissions by reducing the supporting documentation to a mileage summary. This one page mileage summary condenses the information necessary to remain compliant with the travel policy. This summary can only be found utilizing Google Maps which provides a user friendly side panel for calculating mileage while displaying the shortest route. The Google Mileage Summary includes the shortest route, specific location search, fewer icons for simpler navigation and map display. As an added benefit, this will decrease the overall number of pages being printed and submitted.
