Guidelines for Changing Purchased Tickets

Once tickets are issued, traveler-requested changes will be considered only for health, safety,
and family emergency reasons. Requests for changes for personal reasons will be at the
traveler’s expense. Traveler should contact the PM regarding changes accompanied by verified
receipt (e.g. e-mail delivery confirmation) prior to making changes when possible.

Travel Advances
Vysnova offers the option to receive a Travel Advance to all employees. The request for a travel
advance is part of the travel authorization form (see TAAR form in Vysnova Standard PgM Docs
ShareSync folder, see Annex E). In general, subcontractors and consultants are not authorized
to receive travel advances; however, in some special cases, the option for travel advances may
be approved by the Controller and Vysnova Leadership during the subcontract negotiation. In
this case, if it is included in the subcontract or consulting agreement, a subcontractor or
consultant may submit a travel advance request form prior to travel. A travel advance may be
provided up to a maximum of 75% or lower of out-of-pocket expenses (i.e. Vysnova-paid costs
are not eligible for advances), as determined by the PM or as stated in the subcontract or
consulting agreement. Travel advances must be submitted at least 3 business days before
payment is needed.

TER Guidelines
Once the trip is completed, the TER should be submitted within one week and/or a shorter time
frame as directed by the PM. The travelers must submit a completed and signed Travel Expense
Report (TER). Template is available in Vysnova Standard PgM Docs ShareSync folder, see Annex
E.

Lodging

Ensure the receipt breaks down the daily lodging cost (breaking down the room, parking and
taxes) and the expense reports shows the total for the day of the lodging and taxes, but any
parking should be placed under “Other” column

Per Diem
Per diem is used for Lodging Rates and Meals and Incidentals. Per Diem is calculated using the
location where the employee is staying. First and last day are at 75%.
