When a prospective employee is requested to travel for an employment interview, travel expenses will be reimbursed in the same manner as for a state employee. Prospective employees are required to follow the same policies as current employees and should be notified of these rules prior to their travel.
As a state agency, The University of Texas is beholden to the travel rules of the State of Texas and the Board of Regents. Therefore the following policies must be upheld:
Per Diem: $51/day for meals. Total Meals & Lodging Limit: $260/day for Austin, TX.
- No alcohol expenses.
- Flights must be economy/coach class.
- Reimbursements are only for personal expenditures. Any meals for more than one person will require an approved Official Occasion Expense Form.
Travel reimbursements must be submitted for payment within 60 days of the travel dates. Itemized receipts and proof of payments for all charges are required for reimbursement.
