Subsistence allowances cover meals and hotel expenses with gratuities, postages, local telephone calls, laundry, local fares under 1/- a day, and other miscellaneous out-of-pocket expenses, for which receipts are not required.
Separate allowances are made for reasonable expenses in connection with entertaining representatives of other firms.
Rail fares are covered by vouchers. Trunk calls are allowed where details are given, while taxis are only allowed in special circumstances.
The duration of a visit is from the time of leaving the factory to returning to the factory. Where arrivals and returns are made out of working hours the travelling times are reckoned from leaving home to return to home, but expenses incurred in travelling to and from the station are not allowed.
Subsistence allowances are reduced where entertaining is done, and the expense of entertaining should then be claimed overleaf. Similarly when being entertained, the subsistence allowance is also accordingly reduced.
When visiting by car, parking fees may be claimed only if receipts are produced.
While staff of different grades are travelling together the higher rates apply to both.
An extra grant of 10/- is made to Grade 1 Staff per night in a Sleeper. This grant is 2/6 in the case of other Staff.
