Expense Type Identifier

Determining your Travel Expense Type

Purpose:  This tool is designed to assist users who are completing a Travel Authorization or Travel Expense Report in ctcLink and are uncertain about which Travel Expense type to select. Choosing the correct Travel Expense type is essential, as it determines the appropriate account for accurate departmental budgeting and financial reporting.

Audience:  Anyone completing a Travel Authorization or Travel Expense Report.

Assumptions: To determine the correct answer, you’ll need to know both the traveler’s Official Residence and the location of their Official WorkStation. For more information please ask your local Human Resources.

For more definitions please visit the Travel and Expense Master Glossary.

Official Residence: An employee's "Official Residence" is not the employee’s home, but the city, town, or other location where an employee maintains their primary residence. If your residence is not within the city limits it is treated the same as an unincorporated location (i.e., your mailing address is Olympia, but your residence is not within the city limits).

Official WorkStation: The official workstation for travel reimbursement may be the city, town, or unincorporated area of the state official or employee’s official duty station or official worksite as determined by the agency for purposes of travel reimbursement. [As defined in the SAAM Glossary by the Office of Financial Management]
