What is "commute" miles?
Commute miles are your normal everyday miles that you would travel back and forth to work from home. If you are traveling to attend some training and will be leaving from home, you would start your mileage for that trip from home. Once you are ready to file an expense report and you put in your mileage, you will use the total miles for that trip and put your normal commute miles in the box labeled "commute" miles. The system will then do the calculations for you.
Will I be reimbursed for baggage check on flights or overweight baggage?
State travel regulations state the you can get a reimbursement for the first checked baggage. You cannot receive a reimbursement for an overweight bag.
