All About Travel
The functions or events at which it is considered appropriate for food and beverages to be served to College personnel are listed below as 5 allowable business meal types:- Internal Training and Retreats:
Internal Training: Internal training refers to the process of providing education, skill development, and learning opportunities to employees within an organization. This type of training is conducted by the organization itself and is designed to enhance the knowledge, capabilities, and performance of its workforce. Internal training programs can cover a wide range of topics, including job-specific skills, compliance with company policies and procedures, leadership development, or communication and teamwork.
Retreats: Employee retreats refer to organized on-site/off-site gatherings or events arranged by a department for their employees. These retreats are designed to provide a break from the usual work environment and routine, offering participants a chance to engage in team-building activities, professional development, and bonding. These retreats may involve workshops, seminars, recreational activities, and discussions aimed at improving teamwork, communication, morale, and overall job satisfaction among employees. To optimize cost-effectiveness, it is encouraged that retreats take place at properties either owned or leased by William & Mary. However, retreats held at off-campus locations require advance written approval in the form of a Travel Authorization from an authorized approver.
Internal Training and Retreats can only occur once per semester. - Business Meals involving External Parties: Business meals involving external parties refer to dining occasions in which individuals or groups from the university and external participants come together for the purpose of discussing and conducting business-related matters.
- Events with Students: Events with students primarily serve as opportunities to enhance their educational and social experiences. These gatherings, often organized by the departments or student associations, aim to foster a sense of community and engagement among students. The primary purpose of such events is to provide a platform where students can interact with their peers, faculty, and staff outside of the traditional classroom setting. These events can take various forms, including academic conferences, workshops, cultural festivals, and extracurricular activities.
- Employee Retirement and Appreciation Events (Once per semester):
Retirement Events: Retirement events are gatherings or celebrations held to mark the end of an individual's working career and their transition into retirement. These events are typically organized to honor and recognize the retiree's contributions, accomplishments, and years of service in their profession or occupation.
Appreciation Events: Appreciation events for employees are special occasions organized by a department or university to express gratitude and recognition for the contributions, hard work, and dedication of their staff members. These events are designed to acknowledge employees' efforts and accomplishments, boosting morale, motivation, and a positive work environment. These events are typical for group appreciation NOT individual employee recognition or appreciation.
Appreciation Events can only occur once per semester and must be allocated to local funds. - Meals, Food or Beverages for One University Employee: Allowed if the employee is meeting with a non-employee who is covering his or her own meal expenses. The expense must be approved by the responsible Dean or Vice President and must be handled on a reimbursement basis. This expense is allowable under Local Funds only. These expenses are prohibited on the University Small Purchase Charge Card (SPCC).
