Faculty and staff will receive per diem to cover meals and incidental expenses incurred in conjunction with international University business travel. Receipts are not necessary. TCU provided per diems are based on a percentage (70%) of the Department of State foreign per diem rates for meals and incidentals https://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp . When applicable and appropriate a “reduction” should be entered in SAP Concur for covered/ineligible meals.
