http://www.window.state.tx.us/comptrol/ Should I make a Blanket Travel Request? Blanket travel requests are optional. They are offered as a convenience to the traveler and to the departmental secretaries. Blanket travel requests are most advantageous to those who make repeated trips to the same destination for the same purpose, using the same type of vehicle (personal, rental, or fleet), expenses are consistently the same (not a mixture of lodging, mileage, etc.), method of payment is consistent (reimbursed to employee or direct billed to UHV), and the same cost center is charged each time. Blanket travel requests are not advantageous to those who only travel a few times a year. Individual travel requests at the time of travel would be the preferred method. For questions regarding travel policies and procedures, contact Linda Syverson at ext. 851. |
