Where do I get travel forms?
This Travel Web site offers the Travel Authorization and Voucher Workbook Form, as well as many travel guidelines and informative Web site links.

Why do I have to put the traveler's full address on the voucher when I want the check sent to me for mailing?
Internal and external audits require this information.

How do I cancel a TA?
Write "cancel" across your copy of the TA and send it to the Travel Office, or send an Email to one of the travel staff requesting the cancellation. However, this cannot be done if there is still a travel advance outstanding.

Where do I find foreign and domestic per diem rates?
Foreign Per Diem Rates
Domestic Per Diem Rates - contiguous 48 states
Noncontiguous states/territories, i.e. Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, PR (pick the NON-Excel version of the appropriate month, then go all the way to the bottom of the page)

Can I use a non-U.S. Flag carrier?
Yes, ONLY if the exceptions are within the Fly America Act. UCAR enforces the Fly American Act regardless of funding source, and this statute is not connected to the nonuse of government airfare.

Under what circumstances do I write "reimbursable" on the TA form?
If the trip is entirely or partially reimbursable to UCAR from another organization.

What does Participant Support Cost mean and how do I tell if a trip qualifies?

What information do I need to provide for reimbursement of a group business meal?
Who attended the meal, are they UCAR supported travelers or staff, and the detailed restaurant receipt.

How do I find a staff or visitor's ID number?
On Bi-Tech, PEIQ, browse by last name.

How do I receive field or shipboard pay, and what is it based on?
Field assignment compensation is paid for trips to registered field projects of 14 days or more. A trip of less than 14 days does not qualify for field pay; one of 14 days or more receives field pay from the first day. Field pay is paid via Payroll, to employees only, at the rate of 1/2 of the Meals & Incidentals Per Diem for the traveler's usual work location (where they have their office). Shipboard pay is received every day the traveler is on a ship during a field project at a rate of $50.00 per day. Field pay is not paid during the days that shipboard pay is received.
