[Entm-researchstaff] [Entmfaculty] New pre-approval for travel requirement

[Jocelyn Millar]

Kathy,



So can you give us more specifics, i.e., does going out to Ag Ops or other
local sites around Riverside constitute “routine field research”, or going
to local field stations, fields, etc. require these permissions, or…?
I.e., how far afield do we have to go before we have to fill out these
forms?



Plz advise.



Thanks, JM

Hello,



We have just recently been made aware of an updated interim travel
policy Policy
900-25
<https://fboapps.ucr.edu/policies/index.php?path=viewPolicies.php&policy=900-25>
*requiring
pre-approval for ALL physical travel, including routine field research*.
The good news is that blanket approval for multiple individuals and various
locations/timeframes is allowable (see 2nd attached file for an example).



The attached fillable form needs to be completed, signed and emailed in PDF
format to Rachel Alvarez at rachel.alvarez at ucr.edu for the dean’s approval
with a* copy to Ashley*. Rachel will then forward the email to the EVC for
final approval. When *final EVA approval is received, the traveler needs to
include this form with each travel reimbursement request.*



Ashley has uploaded the blank form on our website for your convenience at Pre
Approval travel form
<https://entomology.ucr.edu/policies-links/administrative-policies-forms>.
For international travel, or travel with students, there are additional
requirements outlined in section IV. of the interim policy.



The policy requires obtaining approval three weeks in advance of your
travel dates. Knowing we are just catching up to implementing this
requirement, please move forward from here, starting with the earliest
planned travel date.



Please let us know if you have any questions.



Best,



Kathy J. Carrington
