with paid receipts. Taxis are not reimbursed if taken to arrive at a departure point: for example,
taking a taxi from one's residence to the airport for a business trip is not reimbursable. Parking is
considered a reimbursable travel expense at the destination. Airport parking during a business
trip is not.
A detailed list of charges is required on the lodging invoice. Balance due must be zero. Room
must be registered and paid for by traveler. The County will only reimburse the actual room and
related bed tax. Room service, movies, and personal telephone calls are not allowable expenses.
Meal reimbursement is: breakfast at $3.00, lunch at $6.00, and dinner at $12.00. Meal
guidelines state that travel must begin prior to 6 a.m. for breakfast reimbursement, before noon
and end after 2 p.m. for lunch reimbursement, and before 6 p.m. and end after 8 p.m. for dinner
reimbursement.
Mileage reimbursement is calculated at .29 cents per mile for personal auto mileage while on
County business. An odometer reading must be included on the state travel voucher for vicinity
travel. Mileage is not allowed from a residence or office to a point of departure. For example,
driving form one's home to the airport for a business trip is not a reimbursable expense.

specifically included in the contract), contributions, depreciation expenses (unless specifically
included in the contract), entertainment expenses, fundraising, non-sufficient check charges,

for reimbursement. Remember, the expense should be paid prior to requesting a reimbursement.
Only current charges will be considered, no previous balances.
Reimbursement requests will be monitored in accordance with the level of detail in the contract.
This document should not be considered all-inclusive. The Clerk's Finance Department reserves
the right to review reimbursement requests on an individual basis. Any questions regarding these
guidelines should be directed to 305-292-3534.

contract with the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners."
Invoices should be billed to the contracting agency. Third party payments will not be considered
for reimbursement. Remember, the expense should be paid prior to requesting a reimbursement.
Only current charges will be considered, no previous balances.
Reimbursement requests will be monitored in accordance with the level of detail in the contract.

contract with the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners."

ATTACHMENT A
EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT REQUIREMENTS
This document is intended to provide basic guidelines to Human Service Organizations, county
travelers, and contractual parties who have reimbursable expenses associated with Monroe
County business. These guidelines, as they relate to travel, are from Florida Statute 112.061.
A cover letter summarizing the major line items on the reimbursable expense request needs to
also contain a notarized certified statement such as:
"I certify that the attached expenses are accurate and in agreement with the records of
this organization. Furthermore, these expenses are in compliance with this organization's
contract with the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners."
Invoices should be billed to the contracting agency. Third party payments will not be considered
for reimbursement. Remember, the expense should be paid prior to requesting a reimbursement.
Only current charges will be considered, no previous balances.
Reimbursement requests will be monitored in accordance with the level of detail in the contract.
This document should not be considered all-inclusive. The Clerk's Finance Department reserves
the right to review reimbursement requests on an individual basis. Any questions regarding these
guidelines should be directed to 305-292-3534.
Data Processing, PC Time, etc.
The vendor invoice is required for reimbursement. Inter-company allocations are not considered
reimbursable expenditures unless appropriate payroll journals for the charging department are
attached and certified.
Payroll
A certified statement verifying the accuracy and authenticity of the payroll expense is needed. If
a Payroll Journal is provided, it should include: dates, employee name, salary or hourly rate, total
hours worked, withholding information and payroll taxes, check number and check amount. If a
Payroll Journal is not provided, the following information must be provided: check amount, check
number, date, payee, support for applicable payroll taxes.
Postage, Overnight Deliveries, Courier, etc.
A log of all postage expenses as they relate to the County contract is required for reimbursement.
For overnight or express deliveries, the vendor invoice must be included.

A copy of the rental or lease agreement is required. Deposits and advance payments are not

telephone number, the date, and the purpose of the call.
Travel Expenses
Travel expenses must be submitted on a State of Florida Voucher for Reimbursement of Travel
Expenses. Travel must be submitted in accordance with Florida Statute 112.061. Credit card
statements are not acceptable documentation for reimbursement. If attending a conference or
meeting a copy of the agenda is needed. Airfare reimbursement requires the original passenger
receipt portion of the airline ticket. A travel itinerary is appreciated to facilitate the audit trail.
Auto rental reimbursement requires the vendor invoice. Fuel purchases should be documented
with paid receipts. Taxis are not reimbursed if taken to arrive at a departure point: for example,
taking a taxi from one's residence to the airport for a business trip is not reimbursable. Parking is
considered a reimbursable travel expense at the destination. Airport parking during a business
trip is not.
A detailed list of charges is required on the lodging invoice. Balance due must be zero. Room
must be registered and paid for by traveler. The County will only reimburse the actual room and
related bed tax. Room service, movies, and personal telephone calls are not allowable expenses.
Meal reimbursement is: breakfast at $3.00, lunch at $6.00, and dinner at $12.00. Meal
guidelines state that travel must begin prior to 6 a.m. for breakfast reimbursement, before noon
and end after 2 p.m. for lunch reimbursement, and before 6 p.m. and end after 8 p.m. for dinner
reimbursement.
Mileage reimbursement is calculated at .29 cents per mile for personal auto mileage while on
County business. An odometer reading must be included on the state travel voucher for vicinity
travel. Mileage is not allowed from a residence or office to a point of departure. For example,
driving form one's home to the airport for a business trip is not a reimbursable expense.

specifically included in the contract), contributions, depreciation expenses (unless specifically
included in the contract), entertainment expenses, fundraising, non-sufficient check charges,

this organization. Furthermore, these expenses are in compliance with this organization's
contract with the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners."
Invoices should be billed to the contracting agency. Third party payments will not be considered
for reimbursement. Remember, the expense should be paid prior to requesting a reimbursement.
Only current charges will be considered, no previous balances.
Reimbursement requests will be monitored in accordance with the level of detail in the contract.

the right to review reimbursement requests on an individual basis. Any questions regarding these
guidelines should be directed to 305-292-3534.
