- Payment or reimbursement of employee travel expenses, including meals or per diem, is governed by N.D.C.C. §§ 44-08-04 (lodging and per diem), 44-04-04.1 (per diem for long-term travel), 44-08-04.2 (travel advances), 54-06-09 (mileage) and 54-06-26 (reimbursement of one long-distance call per day). The university system office and institutions shall reimburse Board members, officers and employees for eligible travel expenses at the rates set forth in those statutes. However, institutions may, pursuant to subsection 7 of N.D.C.C. § 44-08-04, set a rate for travel expenses outside the state lower than the rates set forth in that statute. In addition to expenses for travel out of town, employees are also entitled to reimbursement for meals attended in the city where they normally work if such attendance is required or requested in connection with their duties.
- Institutions may pay expenses, including meals and costs of coffee and other beverages or snacks, for hosting dignitaries, guests, seminars and conferences; however, institutions may not use public funds to purchase alcoholic beverages. Institutions may pay expenses of coffee or other nonalcoholic beverages and snacks for institutional meetings or other employee functions.
