Business Services has updated the Travel Memo to clarify the per-meal and per-day limits. The document can be found to the left under Memos & Division Policies. The updated policy is as follows:
Breakfast: $12
Lunch: $24
Dinner: $36
When there is more than one meal per day, the combined reimbursement rates can be applied to the claim. For example, if lunch and dinner costs were incurred on the same day, the maximum reimbursement rate for both meals would be $60 (combining the $24 lunch allowance and $36 dinner allowance).
Additional reminder regarding meals:
When attending a conference at which meals are provided (part of registration), employees who may choose to purchase meals in place of the meals provided, will not be reimbursed. If a CalCard is used to purchase meals in place of the provided meal, employees will need to include personal payment of the cost of the meal with their CalCard receipt.
