C-9. Candidate Travel Reimbursement
Candidates for faculty and professional staff positions are eligible for reimbursement of expenses associated with recruitment visits to IU Southeast in accordance with IU Travel Services and University policies.
School personnel should process, through Chrome River, faculty reimbursements using the appropriate account number assigned by the Office of Academic Affairs. Departments may, for professional staff reimbursements, submit itemized receipts to the Office of Administrative Affairs (US-156) for Chrome River processing from an account that has been created to cover such eligible expenses.
Schools, divisions, and departments can make hotel reservations for candidates; however, each candidate should pay the hotel directly and request reimbursement from the university. Candidates travelling from within the United States are no longer required to complete a W-9 tax form in order to receive reimbursement. The candidate must provide confirmation of their home address and itemized receipts for airfare, lodging, rental vehicle, taxi or shuttle, parking, and tolls. Receipts for meals are not accepted. If the trip is eligible for Per Diem reimbursement, it will be included in the final reimbursement. Please refer to the Per Diem Rates policy on the Travel Management website and to Travel Management policies regarding receipts and required documentation. For information on international candidate travel, please refer to Payments to International Visitors Guide.
To request reimbursement for candidate recruitment or FYS social hospitality, a Hospitality Payment Form should be completed. Please note, the form should be downloaded and saved when accessed directly from the website. Candidate recruitment requests and receipts should be sent to your designated budget analyst or account delegate.
