Company policy is that all travel related expenses incurred by a traveling manager must be processed through a Company T&E report with all receipt support provided. If an operation elects to provide a gift card/per diem to traveling managers in lieu of reimbursement for actual expenses, the GM must first present the request to their RVP which displays the financial benefit of using the alternative method, and then it must be presented as a request to deviate from company policy and provided to the Area Controller and Corporate Controller/CFO for final approval.
