2 1 PURPOSE 1.1 This policy sets out the objectives and methodology for the level of reimbursement of travel and subsistence payments to staff members. 2 OBJECTIVES 2.1 The overall objective of the Travel and Subsistence Policy is to fairly and equally reimburse all staff who have to travel during the course of their work duties. 3 POLICY STATEMENT 3.1 The Trust will reimburse staff at the nationally agreed rates and circumstances under Agenda for Change Conditions of Service. These are the referred to in the Terms and Conditions of Service NHS Medical and Dental Staff (both the pre-2003 and the 2003 Contract). 3.2 It is the Trust s policy that staff will be reimbursed expenditure above the cost of their regular journey to their usual workplace. 4 CHECKS 4.1 Controls are set out in the procedure and include: a) Managers are required to authorise payments after initially confirming that the trips were valid in the execution of Trust business, were made on the days specified and that the amounts claimed are reasonable. b) A central, sample audit is conducted on claims to confirm their validity. 5 MONITORING 5.1 Payments are made via the ESR Payroll System. These show on budget statements and are subject to the same rigorous and vigorous budget monitoring as all other expenditure. 6 ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES 6.1 Any member of staff may potentially have reason to claim for travel and subsistence during the course of their employment. It is their line manager s responsibility to check the validity of any claim before they authorise the claim form. Page 2
3 PROCEDURE REF NO. SABP/AUDIT/0011 Name of Procedure Travel and Subsistence (Staff) Procedure Purpose of Procedure What the procedure will achieve To set the process by which employees will obtain reimbursement of travel expenses incurred. 1. Clear process for staff to claim, managers to authorise and the Trust to pay travel and subsistence expenses. 2. Clear guidance on what will be reimbursed to staff and, therefore, what is outside the procedure. 3. Refers to national guidance so bi-annually updating of the Procedure is avoided.

4 CHANGE LOG from version 2.1 Para Change Reason 2.3 Eligibility for a lease car is explained within the Trust s Lease Car Removal Policy. Page 4
5 1 Scope and Levels of Mileage Allowance Reimbursement 1.1 The Trust pays travel and subsistence claims at the national levels under the Agenda for Change terms and conditions of service. These paragraphs are referred to in the Terms and Conditions of Service NHS Medical and Dental Staff (both the pre-2003 and the 2003 Contract) so all staff are reimbursed under the same rules. Full details can be found in section 17 and Annex L of the latest NHS Terms and Conditions of Service Handbook. The latest version as at March 2017 (amendment 1/2017) is provided below at Appendix C Subsequent changes are not repeated here so that this policy does not need updating each time a minor change happens (potentially at least twice a year). These include details of: confirming vehicle and driver can undertake business mileage (follows relevant laws, driver has business mileage insurance, driver has a valid driving licence, etc.) rates of reimbursement (standard rate and reserve rate) eligible mileage mode of transport (vehicle, motorcycle, pedal cycle, passengers, heavy equipment) attendance on training courses out of pocket expenses public transport journeys 1.2 The eligible mileage will be the shortest route between the two points as determined by the route finder on the RAC website ( In some circumstances, where a longer route has to be taken (e.g. in the event of roadworks, accident), this should be noted and the manager is required to agree any higher level. Any reasonable adjustments for an alternative route under the Equality Act 2010 should be noted and agreed with the manager. 1.3 There are no local arrangements within the Trust. 2 Limitation of Scope 2.1 This procedure does not cover the situation when employees are required to change their base of work as result of a reorganisation or merger of NHS employers or when employees accept another post as an alternative to redundancy. Section 19 and Annex O of the above named handbook give some guidance but can be subject to local variation. 2.2 At such times when it is necessary to relocate a service either at short notice for environmental reasons or due to a planned change, these changes can have a significant impact on the travel times and costs for people. When planning for an organisational change project which involves the relocation of services, the impact on the travel nad/or parking needs of staff working in that service should be assessed. This assessment of impact and the proposed strategies to either reduce, remove or accept the impact should be detailed and communicated to the people affected. If these strategies include the reimbursement of travel expenses then there should be a supporting plan as to how this will be administered and monitored. 2.3 Lease vehicles are no longer available via the Trust, which now promotes the salary sacrifice scheme operated by Tusker Direct. Should an individual wish to make use of this scheme, they should obtain details direct from Tusker via TrustWeb. Mileage claims for remaining lease cars (until the term of the lease finishes) are submitted in the same way as for private vehicles. 3 Submission of Mileage Claims 3.1 No travel claims will be paid without submission of an approved Authorised User Application Form (Appendix A). This needs to be completed by the user and authorised by the manager before Payroll can process a claim. 3.2 All travel reimbursement claims are now made electronically by spreadsheet available on TrustWeb. Page 5
6 3.3 Details of how to claim can be found at: nww.sabp.nhs.uk/staff/travel-forms-new-electronic-versions/new-travel-and-subsistence-claim-forms 3.4 Contact details for Payroll in Northumbria can also be found via the above link. If any member of staff has difficulty claiming electronically, these contacts can determine the most appropriate, alternative method. 3.5 Any receipts for verified expenditure are not now required by Payroll before payment is made but the employee s manager needs to keep the receipts for at least one full financial year (i.e. in April 2018, receipts for April 2016 to March 2017 can be securely disposed of. April 2017 to March 2018 will be retained and the current year s report). 3.6 Some employees have a Trust Purchasing Card. It is permissible to buy public transport tickets using this rather than reclaim later. These journeys should not appear on a claim form as there is a risk they would be paid in error. The employee s Manager is required to assure him/herself that the member of staff has not claimed via Payroll for expenses bought using a purchasing card. 3.7 Claims must be made within approximately 9 weeks (depending on varying submission dates) of the period to which they relate. For example, claims for the month of January need to be made to the Payroll Department by the payroll submission date for April s payroll. If that date is 5 April, then claims for 1 31 January need to be with Payroll latest by then. 4 Subsistence Allowances 4.1 Section 18 and Annex N of the latest NHS Terms and Conditions of Service Handbook covers the subsistence allowances that can be claimed. These are also reproduced below at Appendix C. There are no local arrangements. 3.2 These cover: Night subsistence for overnight stays (long-term and short-term) Day subsistence when an employee is necessarily absent from home on official business and five miles from their base. Late night duties allowance 4.3 These are claimed on the same form as mileage claims are made. Again, where a subsistence allowance requires the production of a receipt, that receipt must be viewed and retained by the manager. Page 6

18 Appendix D : Additional Guidance The recent revision of section 17 of the Terms and Conditions Handbook has changed how staff should claim for business journeys that do not start or end at their base. The new rules state that in future, if you are starting from or finishing at home, the miles you can claim are those which are in excess of your normal Home to Base mileage. Set out below are some illustrative examples of how this works. For the purpose of these examples a notional distance of 12 miles normal Home to Base travel has been used. Example 1 Travelling from Home to first appointment and then onto Base: Distance from Home to first appointment: Distance from first appointment to Base: 8 Miles 7 miles Total Journey: Business Miles Claimed: 15 Miles = 3 Miles Example 2 Travelling from Home to multiple appointments then onto Base: Distance from Home to first appointment: 5 Miles Distance from first appointment to second: 6 Miles Distance form second appointment to base: 11 Miles Total Journey: Business Miles Claimed: 22 Miles = 10 Miles Example 3 Travelling from Home to an appointment(s) then returning home: Distance from Home to appointment: Distance from appointment to Home: Total Journey: Business Miles Claimed: 10 Miles 10 Miles 20 Miles = -4 Miles NO CLAIM NB - The same rules and principles apply for Journeys starting at your base and finishing at home Business Mileage linked to Existing Excess Travel Arrangement Where a member of staff is in receipt of excess mileage payments, business miles will commence once normal home to base miles have been completed for example: Page 17
19 Example 4 Distance from Home to base: 12 miles (of which 8 are paid as excess miles) Distance from Home to appointment 4 miles - No claim Distance from Home to appointment 8 Miles Claim 4 miles at excess travel rate Distance from Home to appointment 16 Miles Claim 8 miles at excess rate then 4 miles as business rate Page 18
20 Equality Analysis The equality analysis guidance notes and template are provided to support you in meeting the requirements of the Public Sector Equality Duty which came into force on 5 April They replace previous versions of the Trust s equality impact assessment toolkit, which should no longer be used. You should use this template to record evidence that equality analysis has been carried out before policy decisions take place.

If course of their work yes, please state the groups of people who are likely to be affected. If yes, then the policy/project is equality relevant. If no, you can skip to section 6. However the majority of Trust policies and projects are equality relevant because they affect people in some way. 3. Gathering evidence to inform the equality analysis What evidence have you gathered to help inform this analysis? This can include evidence from national research, surveys & reports, interviews and focus groups, policy monitoring and evaluations from pilot projects, etc. If there are gaps in the evidence available under any of the characteristics, please explain why this is the case and state what actions will be taken to close the gaps as part of the action plan.
