Su,

At the 4 universities I have worked for, we were able to reimburse travelers for meals & per diem or incidental costs, such as tips on meals.  At each institution, there was a set amount either overall of by location (regarding the cost of living at various locations).

Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Tips on Sponsored Projects

When I was processing travel and reimburstements at the UO, we were only allowed 15%. If someone tipped more that 15% on ground transportation or allowable meals, we had to calculate the tip and adjust down to 15% for the reimbursement.

Good evening,

Could you let me know if your institution allows for tips to be charged on sponsored projects and if so, what is the maximum % you allow?
Our institution has historically not allowed these charges across the board.

Thank you.
Su
