Travel Regulations 2016: New Business Travel Rules

The abolition of two mandatory documents for business trips: a travel certificate and a job assignment, greatly facilitated the work of personnel specialists. After the entry into force, the procedure for issuing business trips has been significantly simplified. Design rules required documents“On the Peculiarities of Sending Employees on Business Trips” is still regulated, but the paper work of personnel specialists has noticeably decreased.

Changes made to labor law, directly affect the design features of local regulations. If the company has developed and approved its own Regulations on business trips, then it should be amended in accordance with the current legislation.

Note that companies still have the opportunity to work using the previous workflow procedure, if this is fixed in the local regulatory act regulating the procedure for sending employees on business trips.

So, for example, the new rules for processing business trips do not oblige an employee to draw up a mandatory report on the completed assignment. In practice, the employer would like to receive confirmation of the task performed by the employee.

Most companies send their employees on business trips at least occasionally. The law does not require the development Regulations on business trips, but its presence in the company greatly simplifies many aspects of regular workflow processes.

Special Considerations in the Development of the Travel Policy 2016

This will allow the employee to focus on the performance of the job and make his stay in an unfamiliar place more comfortable.

It is important for an employer to carefully consider all aspects Travel regulations, which are associated with mutual settlements between him and the employees of the company.

The employer needs to determine the list and amount of costs that the company compensates for the seconded employee. It is important to indicate which of the costs are paid only on condition that primary documents, and which - in their absence. To the list of costs to facilitate registration tax reporting all, even seemingly insignificant, costs should be included. Standard costs typically include:

When determining the amount of daily allowance, the employer must take into account that the daily rate is set by each organization independently, but personal income tax must be withheld from the employee from daily allowances over 700 rubles in Russia and 2500 rubles abroad.

Regulations on business trips refers to one of the important local regulations necessary for the activities of any organization. It regulates all issues related to sending company employees on business trips. Correctly composed Regulations on business trips can save the employer from many problems associated with the design and payment of business trips.

Sample Documents:

  • Regulations on business trips
  • >Order to send an employee on a business trip
  • Order to postpone the date of departure of the employee (employees) from the place of business trip
  • Trip cancellation order
  • Memo confirming the fact of being on a business trip in the absence of supporting documents

The regulation on business trips is a local regulatory act of the organization, which contains all the rules for sending on a business trip, adopted specifically in the organization. Is it obligatory, does it need to be reviewed in connection with the adoption of new laws, and what is the limit for calculating per diems? What additional costs does the company incur when sending employees from 2020? In this article, we have tried to answer the most common questions that relate to the design of such a trip.

What is the position for?

The provision on business trips as a local normative act in organizations is optional. It is more necessary to regulate relations between the company, the seconded person and the departments that are involved in the design and calculation of the cost of a business trip. That is, it is not necessary to develop the Regulations separately as a form of a local act, it is possible to include the rules on business trips, for example, in the rules of internal work schedule, daily limits to approve the order. This is discussed in Article 168 of the Labor Code , but we will still dwell on the development of such a local act as the Regulation on business trips, since its presence makes travel arrangements easier and more convenient.

What is a business trip

Let's see how this term is defined in Labor Code of the Russian Federation . A business trip is a trip of a company employee to perform an official assignment outside permanent place implementation of labor activity(part 1 Art. 166 Labor Code of the Russian Federation ). Sending is carried out on the basis of the order of the employer with the issuance of a job assignment. If an employee is in a position that involves the constant performance of work duties while traveling, this will not be a business trip (but will be called traveling work). During the business trip, the employee retains his position, workplace, wage.

Can an employee cancel a business trip?

As a general rule, labor legislation (Article 166 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation) does not oblige you to ask the employee for consent to any business trip (in Russia or abroad). At the same time, the Labor Code of the Russian Federation establishes a number of restrictions for sending certain categories of workers on business trips.

You can not send on a business trip:

  • women during pregnancy;
  • employees under the age of 18 (except for creative activities);
  • persons with disabilities if the trip interrupts rehabilitation activities;
  • workers with whom a student agreement has been concluded;
  • registered candidate at the time of the election.

There is also a list of citizens whose business trip is allowed only upon delivery of a notification-direction and with their written consent. If an employee who can be sent on a business trip only with his written consent refuses to travel, then he cannot be sent forcibly. Also, the employee may have good reasons to postpone or even cancel the trip, then the manager can cancel his order. But this is the leader's right, not a duty.

We are developing the Regulation on business trips for 2020

Almost all the nuances of sending an employee on a business trip are reflected in Decree of the Government of Russia No. 749 dated October 13, 2008. Fundamental changes in the direction of simplifying the registration of this working moment were made to the legislation in 2015, when the legislator abolished the obligation to register travel certificates and office assignments. Although many organizations and enterprises still use these forms when sending an employee on a business trip, rather for the convenience of internal reporting, especially since the documents, along with the order to send them on a business trip, are automatically generated from personnel records programs.

To develop an up-to-date local act (Regulations), you can download a free sample of the 2020 Travel Regulations at the end of the article. It should be noted that the sample internal document of another enterprise may contain individual characteristics, limited or extended rights, therefore, when developing local acts, it is always necessary to refer to the primary source, in this case, take provision 749 on business trips as a basis.

Usually, the Regulations consist of several sections and are quite a voluminous document. In particular, you need to take into account:

  • general provisions;
  • the procedure for sending employees on business trips;
  • the time limit for such a trip;
  • extension rules;
  • cases of recall of a seconded worker;
  • guarantees when sent on a business trip;
  • the amount and procedure for reimbursement of travel expenses.

In each of these sections, it is important to take into account all the nuances. For example, a Statement might start like this:

From this sample it can be seen that the head of the organization must approve the Regulation on business trips, and where his personal signature and date of approval should be. One of the main sections of this local act is the section on the procedure for reporting related to sending on a business trip. It is desirable to immediately write down the following rule in it:

A posted worker must provide documents confirming the intended use of the funds issued for the trip within 3 working days after returning.

In addition, when drawing up the Regulations, it is necessary to specify the items of travel expenses that the organization will compensate the employee. For example:

LLC "Primer" reimburses business travelers for food costs in the amount of not more than 1 thousand (1000) rubles per day.

Who develops the Regulation on business trips

Approves local act the head, but several employees must be involved in its development at the same time:

  • the specialist of the personnel department will prescribe the main organizational points;
  • the chief accountant will make items related to payment in the document;
  • the lawyer will check the Regulation for compliance with the current legislation.

Other specialists may be involved to introduce certain aspects into the document.

Changes in legislation

Due to changes in legislation, the employer needs to timely review local regulations, including the Regulations on business trips. The purpose of the revision may be to reduce the additional financial burden on businesses in a situation where the state passes laws leading to an increase in tax deductions and insurance contributions to the relevant funds.

Since 2017 federal law No. 243 FZ of July 3, 2016 per diem limits are set for employee business trips, within which insurance premiums are not paid, if the limits are exceeded, insurance premiums will need to be paid for the amount of the excess. The norm was introduced by analogy with the payment of personal income tax on daily allowances, which has been in effect since January 1, 2008. Moreover, the legislator, 10 years later, did not change upwards the size of daily allowances, which are not taxed and insurance premiums.

Set daily limits

If the employer seeks to save on per diems, he sets limits in the Regulations on business trips for the payment of daily allowances in accordance with the Tax Code of the Russian Federation within the amounts that are not included in the taxable base:

  • 700 rubles per day on the territory of Russia;
  • 2500 rubles per day outside the country.

When setting per diem limits, the employer has the right to be guided by the market situation, otherwise excessive savings can demotivate employees who, having gone to carry out the tasks of management in another city or another country, must quickly solve official tasks, especially since many employees have a negative attitude towards such trips.

Often, companies differentiate limits according to positions and the place of business trip. That is, higher compensation is established for the management staff than for ordinary employees. The same applies to the destination - if the company is regional, then a business trip, for example, to Moscow will be more expensive than to a small town. The Company has the right to indicate in the Regulations any amount of daily allowance for business trips, since the maximum limit is not limited by law. You just need to remember that you will have to pay the appropriate taxes and fees.

Business trip on a day off

If an employee goes on a business trip, for example, on Saturday or Sunday, in order to start work on Monday, then, as the Ministry of Labor reminded in its Letter of 09/05/2013 N 14-2 / ​​3044898-4415, days off are paid double (or compensated by providing an additional day off - then the payment will be in the standard amount of average earnings). The same applies to the days of the return trip that fell on the weekend.

How can an employee report on the results of a business trip?

Based on the results of the trip, the seconded person must draw up and submit to the authorities a report on the completion of the task, on the basis of which the management of the enterprise has the opportunity to determine how well the employee coped with the issues and tasks that he had to solve. Compiling a report allows the employee to avoid unfounded claims regarding unsatisfactory results of the trip. In addition to the report, the traveler must submit to the accounting department:

  • advance report (on expenses incurred on a business trip);
  • receipts, checks, travel tickets, etc. confirming payment papers;
  • travel permit (if issued).
