Development of regulations on business trips

Sending employees on business trips is always accompanied by a number of mandatory documents regulated by current legislation... If the need to send employees of the organization exists constantly, then it is advisable to develop and adopt in the organization a local normative act governing the procedure for sending them on business trips.

Dictionary HR administration... A business trip is a trip of an employee by order of the employer for a specified period to carry out a business assignment outside the place permanent work... Business trips of employees whose permanent work is carried out on the road or has a traveling nature are not recognized as business trips. In this case, instead of the daily subsistence allowance, wage supplements are paid to employees.

To consolidate the procedure for formalizing a business trip in an organization, it is advisable to develop a regulation or other organizational document regulating this activity of the enterprise.

The regulation on business trips of employees of the organization is an optional local act of the organization, the expediency of the introduction of which is determined by the management of the organization. The main goal of developing a regulation on business trips of employees of the organization is to establish a unified procedure for sending employees on business trips, as well as to define the functions of each structural unit participating in this process. The regulation can be drawn up as a separate normative act, or as an appendix to the internal labor regulations. It should be borne in mind that the adoption of any addition to the rules (the application is such an addition), as well as its subsequent change must be carried out in the manner prescribed by Art. 190 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

In the regulation, you can specify the specific amount of expenses reimbursed to the head of the organization. If the head of the organization is responsible to the founders (participants) legal entity or authorized constituent documents the body, the regulation determines the procedure for submitting reports on the expenses incurred, or establishes the obligation of the head of the organization before going on a business trip to agree on the estimate of travel expenses with the founders (participants) or the authorized body.

In the regulation, it is also necessary to indicate which structural unit will be responsible for arranging business trips: it can be the personnel department, and the office, and the secretary of the general director.

Business trips are associated with guarantees that are provided both to persons sent on a business trip and to persons who cannot be sent on business trips, so this must also be reflected in the regulation.

So, the following categories of workers cannot be sent on a business trip:

Pregnant women (Article 259 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

Employees under the age of 18, with the exception of persons from among creative workers of funds mass media, cinematographic organizations, theaters, theater and concert organizations, circuses and other persons involved in the creation and (or) performance of works, professional athletes in accordance with the lists of professions established by the Government of the Russian Federation, taking into account the opinion of the Russian Trilateral Commission on the Regulation of Social and Labor Relations ( Art.268 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

The rest of the categories of workers can be sent on business trips without their consent. In case of refusal, they may be brought to disciplinary responsibility in accordance with the procedure established by law.

Employees sent for advanced training with a break from work in another locality are additionally paid for travel expenses in the manner and amount that are provided for persons sent on business trips.

Separate guarantees for students are provided for in clause 26 Model provision... Thus, payment for the students' travel to the place of study and back, as well as the payment of daily subsistence allowance for the time they are on the road should be carried out at the expense of the employing organizations at the place of the main work of the students.

At the slightest deviations from the usual procedure for sending employees on a business trip, when registering and calculating travel expenses, problems arise for both the seconded employees and their managers, employees of the personnel department, accounting, in other words, for all those who are related to business trips.
In an educational institution, problems arise due to the large volume of paper workflow, the many departments involved in this process.
Moskovsky State University Economics, Statistics and Informatics (MESI) was no exception: he, too, had no less difficulties on the issue of business trips than in any other university.
We were given the task of eliminating the existing problems, namely:

First, it was necessary to determine the stages that reflect the entire process of a business trip:


After analyzing all external regulations, the established practice of organizing business trips in the university and the existing document flow, the Regulation on business trips of MESI employees was developed. It includes the following main sections:
- "Business trips within the territory of Russia ";
- "Business trips on the territory of foreign states";
- "Sending an employee to professional development, retraining, internship";
- "The rights of the traveler";
- "Documents confirming travel expenses";
- "Electronic air, railway ticket";
- "Business trip report".

Whether it is necessary to introduce such a local normative act as the Regulation on official business trips of employees in your educational institution is up to you. But if you are still entrusted with its creation, you can safely use the Regulations and documents developed by the staff of our university. The regulation reflects the requirements of the current legislation.
However, a number of the issues set forth in it are not regulated by law; we had to find some solutions in the established practice and consult with specialists. You can analyze specified Regulation and try to reflect in it the peculiarities of the procedure for sending workers on business trips adopted at your educational institution.

Travel regulations - important document for employers whose employees go on business trips. The rules that should be followed when registering and recording business travel are subject to change. Hence the need to include relevant provisions in the document regulating issues related to business trips.

Why draw up a regulation on sending employees on business trips

The regulation on business trips refers to the internal local acts of the employer, applied along with other similar documents (regulation on remuneration, internal labor regulations, provisions on bonuses, indexation of wages, etc.).

Check out internal company local acts on our website:

  • "Internal Labor Regulations - Sample 2019";
  • "Regulations on labor protection of employees - sample-2019".

The form of this document is not legally approved and its content is not regulated. Each employer draws up such a provision, taking into account its "travel" subtleties and peculiarities.

The regulation on business trips is designed to establish and consolidate many different factors: types of business trips (within Russia or abroad), the nature and amount of reimbursable travel expenses (only for travel and accommodation or another list), transport used for travel and other features.

Development of such an internal document in order to tax accounting allows you to fearlessly recognize various expenses as travel expenses and justify their value in expenses when calculating income tax or simplified taxation system.

There is no need to draw up a regulation on business trips if the employer does not send his employees on business trips and does not plan to do so.

What is considered a business trip and when the travel regulation does not apply

The regulation on business trips of the 2019 model basically proceeds from the definition that is familiar to everyone and the basic conditions for recognizing an employee's trip as a business trip.

IMPORTANT! Based on the definition given in Art. 166 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, a business trip is a trip of an employee to carry out a business assignment outside his workplace for a period set by the employer.

Since the departure of a person from the place of his permanent deployment is associated with additional costs (for travel, accommodation, etc.), requiring special documenting and justification, and the recognition of travel costs when calculating the tax base for profit or STS depends on many factors (job orientation, duration of the trip, etc.), the importance of the provision on business trips can hardly be overestimated.

This document substantiates the amount of various expenses associated with the trip (from daily allowances to airport fees and baggage payments), and also describes the procedure for the seconded employees (the scheme for receiving funds for the trip, the composition of mandatory documents, the working hours on the road, etc.).

This position can not be used in all cases. Such a document does not regulate the actions of the company's employees if their work is traveling in nature, as well as when employees travel for their personal purposes.

The correct classification of the trip is of particular importance in the application of the travel provision. You can recognize the departure as a business trip and legally use the provision in the following cases:

  • the trip is carried out for business purposes and by decision of the management;
  • an employee works for a certain period of time away from the settlement in which his main workplace is located;
  • concluded with a business traveler labor contract or a GPC agreement.

Whether it is possible to take into account travel expenses for the purposes of income tax to an employee with whom a GPC agreement has been concluded, find out.

An important condition of the position is the consolidation of the employee's right to refuse a business trip

In the regulation on business trips, it will not be superfluous to list all cases when an employee has the right to refuse a business trip, and situations when a ban on sending an employee on a business trip is imposed by law. This will allow employees to defend their legal rights and eliminate labor conflicts.

So, the Labor Code of the Russian Federation prohibits sending pregnant employees on business trips (Article 259), employees during the period of the apprenticeship agreement, if business trips are not related to apprenticeship (paragraph 3 of Art. 203), as well as underage workers firms (Article 268). In relation to the last category of workers, the specified article of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides for nuances: business trips of underage creative workers are not prohibited according to the list approved by the Government of the Russian Federation (decree of April 28, 2007 No. 252).

Another group of workers is allowed to refuse or agree to travel on a business trip. In this case, they can express their will in writing. Among such employees (Article 259 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation):

  • women with children under the age of 3;
  • mothers and fathers single-handedly raising children under the age of 5;
  • workers with disabled children;
  • employees caring for sick members of their families in accordance with a medical report (Article 259 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

The same choice is given to guardians and trustees of minors (Article 264 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

For employees who do not fall into the above categories, refusing to travel on a business trip means a high probability of receiving disciplinary punishment.

In the case of using a memo on sending an employee on a business trip, the procedure for its creation and movement should also be reflected in the regulations on business trips.

The rules for issuing a memo for a business trip of the sample of 2019 are not regulated by anything. It is mandatory for her to have the employer's resolution.

The obligation to issue a travel certificate has been canceled since 2015. However, the presence of this document disciplines the traveled employee to a certain extent, and in the absence of travel documents, it allows confirming the dates of the trip. For this reason, most employers did not abandon the use of a travel certificate and left it among the mandatory internal documents.

Return from trip. Memorandum of business trip: sample-2019

Since 2015, one more document has ceased to be applied - a business trip report. Although this does not mean that an employee returning from a business trip will not have to account for the work done on a business trip. You will still have to issue a document at the end of a business trip, only in a different form and under a different name.

IMPORTANT! In accordance with clause 7 of Regulation No. 749, a business trip note issued by an employee may be a confirmation of the period of stay on a business trip and other nuances of a business trip. The 2019 sample for her is not normatively established, and the employer can develop it independently. At the same time, he has the right either to provide for all posted employees, without exception, the obligation to draw up such a memo, or reflect in the regulations on business trips isolated cases its registration (for example, a business trip by personal transport or the absence of travel cards and other documents confirming the duration of the business trip).

In addition to a memo, an employee returning from a trip will have to draw up a document that is mandatory for everyone - an advance report. The firm may develop its own form for such a report or use unified form AO-1.

For the rules for filling out the AO-1 form, see. .

For the preparation of the advance report and the final settlement of the travel payment issued in advance, 3 working days are given after returning from a business trip (clause 26 of Regulation No. 749). The report is accompanied by documents confirming all expenses incurred during the trip (for accommodation, travel and other travel expenses).

Where to download a sample 2019 business trip memo

As noted above, in some cases, the confirmation of the period of stay on a business trip is a memo written by the employee.

A sample 2019 business trip memo can be downloaded here:

Please note that even a memo in some cases (in the absence of travel documents, documents for renting accommodation or other documents confirming the conclusion of a contract for the provision of hotel services at the place of business trip) cannot confirm the duration of the business trip (paragraph 3, clause 7 of Resolution No. 749 ). Additionally, you need to affix on a memo or other document confirmation of the receiving party about the actual period of the employee's stay on a business trip. In this regard, it becomes important to issue a travel certificate, and it is still advisable to provide for the issuance of such a document in the regulations on business trips.

We list in the position documents confirming expenses

Fare

The travel of an employee through the territory of our country or outside its borders, associated with the performance of official assignments, is always associated with additional costs. If a business trip is planned in Russia, the initial costs of the employer when sending an employee on a business trip will be the cost of travel to the destination (for business trips abroad, the costs begin with obtaining visas, passports, etc. - we will talk about this separately).

Modern ways of moving in space are quite diverse: by trains, planes, buses, taxis. In addition, an employee's personal car or a rented vehicle can act as a business trip.

With all travel documents familiar to everyone, everything is extremely simple: their originals are attached to the advance report, and the cost of travel is easily included in tax expenses. However, modern realities are making adjustments to this understandable and familiar procedure for accounting for travel expenses.

Rapid introduction into our lives electronic documents generates disagreements between taxpayers and tax controllers regarding the recognition on their basis of the cost of moving employees on business travel.

The explanations of officials can help in this. For example, the letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated June 19, 2015 No. 03-03-07 / 35548 says that a boarding pass and a printed baggage receipt (itinerary receipt) are enough to document the travel expenses when purchasing an air ticket in uncertified form (electronic ticket) ... The ticket will confirm the flight of the traveled employee on the route indicated in the electronic ticket, and the cost of the flight will be justified by the itinerary receipt.

In a letter dated 09.10.2017 No. 03-03-06 / 1/65743, Ministry of Finance officials clarified that a printed electronic boarding pass, which does not have a stamp on passenger screening, cannot confirm flight costs. In this case, the fact of the flight can be confirmed by a certificate of flight issued by the air carrier or its representative.

How, in the opinion of the Ministry of Finance, to confirm the flight costs in the absence of documents, see.

Some of the nuances of the recognition of travel transportation costs read in materials:

  • "Is it possible to take into account for profit the payment of a day's journey on or from a business trip, if it falls on a weekend?" ;
  • "Is it possible to take into account the penalty for ticket refund?" ...

Living expenses

The algorithm for reimbursing living expenses should also be reflected in the regulations on business trips (Article 168 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, paragraphs 11, 13, 14, 21 of Regulation No. 749). This is of no small importance for the recognition of tax expenses taken into account when calculating income tax or simplified taxation system: this possibility arises only if supporting documents are available (clause 1 of article 252, subparagraph 12 of clause 1 of article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, letter of the Ministry of Finance Russia dated 03.03.2015 No. 03-03-07 / 11015).

For the employee himself, the issue of compensation for living expenses on a business trip is also not indifferent: the compensation received by him for unconfirmed expenses in amounts exceeding the established norms is subject to personal income tax (paragraph 10, clause 3 of article 217, article 210 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

The options for the employee's residence at the place of performance of the official assignment are no less diverse than the types of transport used for business trips. The simplest thing in terms of documentary proof of expenses is considered to be hotel accommodation.

In this case, it is enough to submit to the employer's accounting department a strict reporting form from the hotel (it must comply with the requirements of the regulation approved by Government Decree No. 359 dated 06.05.2008) or another similar document (receipt for an incoming cash order in the form of KO-1, cash register receipt).

The hotel bill is a BSO and therefore confirms the expenses even in the absence of cashier's check... Officials of the Ministry of Finance of Russia (letter dated 18.08.2010 No. 03-03-06 / 1/556) and judges (resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Moscow District dated 29.02.2008 No. KA-A40 / 14043-07) do not object to this approach.

If the employer rents housing for a seconded employee and incurs rental costs, such expenses can be recognized only for the days of actual residence of the employee (letters of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated March 25, 2010 No. 03-03-06 / 1/178, Federal Tax Service of Russia in St. Moscow dated 04/16/2010 No. 16-15 / 040653 @).

Regulations on business trips on the payment of per diem

The amount of daily allowances is not legally regulated, therefore, expenses that reduce the tax base for profit or the simplified taxation system are accepted in any amount independently established by the employer. This size is fixed in the regulations on business trips.

However, for the purpose of taxing daily personal income tax and insurance premiums regulated by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, there is a limitation that obliges to withhold income tax and charge insurance premiums with amounts exceeding:

  • RUB 700 - for business trips across the territory of Russia;
  • RUB 2,500 - for trips abroad.

In this regard, most often the size of the daily allowance is set precisely within these limits.

Read more about the calculation of insurance premiums for per diem in this material.

Features of overseas business trips in the regulations on business trips

The nuances of business trips abroad are reflected in the regulations on business trips in the event that the employer sends his employees on trips abroad to perform official tasks.

Despite the fact that the accounting of expenses and the process of organizing foreign and domestic business trips are based on general algorithms, the organization of the departure of an employee outside the country is associated with some peculiarities.

For example, reimbursement of travel and accommodation expenses for travelers abroad is the same as when traveling in our country, but the list of reimbursable expenses has been expanded. These may include payment for registration of a passport, visas and other travel documents, compulsory consular and airfield fees, other compulsory payments and fees.

At the same time, both the employer and the employee will have to take into account the requirements of the law "On foreign exchange regulation" dated December 10, 2003 No. 173-FZ, since it is impossible to stay abroad without foreign currency.

IMPORTANT! The right to use foreign currency for settlements with employees sent on a business trip is provided for by sub. 9 p. 1 of Art. 9 of Law No. 173-FZ.

Foreign exchange costs associated with business trips require special attention when they are reflected in tax expenses. For example, in the absence of a certificate of purchase of currency, it is possible to recalculate travel allowances in rubles at the rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation on the date of issuance of the reporting amounts (letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated 03.09.2015 No. 03-03-07 / 50836).

If the employer does not send his employees for business purposes outside the country, he no longer needs to reflect the specifics of foreign business trips in his internal local acts.

Outcomes

The regulation on business trips is an internal local act of the employer. This document does not have a strict mandatory form and may not be processed if the employer does not send employees on business trips.

The regulation makes it possible to justify the inclusion of travel expenses in the composition of tax expenses and excludes disputes about the amount of compensation business travelers costs incurred by them.
