Grantee will only be reimbursed for services performed by contactors included in the budget and/or detailed in the budget narrative. Documentation supporting expenditures must be submitted with the FSR including an invoice/statement providing a detailed explanation of all services performed and the dollar amount charged for each, and proof of payment. All receipts must include only expenses incurred by the contractor and must not include expenses incurred by individuals on the Grantee’s payroll (e.g., meal receipts, lodging, etc.) Note: Documentation for Assurance 16 services provided by workers contracted by the grantee should include breakdown of time spent on A16 services. The description should indicate which “type” of A16 service occurred. One such way to complete this would be by using a time study to apply a standard breakdown for workers completing multiple tasks that fall in separate reporting categories. Contact the grant administrator with any questions regarding this documentation. See Appendix J for examples of allowable Assurance 16 services and a sample timecard for breaking down time spent on different tasks. 7.4 TRAVEL EXPENDITURES Grantee will only be reimbursed for travel related expenses included in the budget and/or detailed in the budget narrative at the rates set forth in Appendix G. The following are additional travel guidelines that must be followed during the grant term:  Travel expenses listed in the travel budget category are strictly for individuals listed on the budget under Personnel.  All travel must originate at the individual’s assigned workstation. In cases where an individual working on the grant leaves from home, the reimbursement is the lesser of mileage from the official workstation to the assignment or from home to the assignment; however, Grantee must provide details including the individual’s assigned workstation and the home address. 7.4.1 DESIGNATION OF OFFICIAL WORKSTATION (OWS) Defining the workstation is important because it determines when an employee is eligible for meal and lodging reimbursement. An official workstation is created at the time the position is established. The workstation is determined by the Grantee’s Management policy. The official workstation of the Grantee’s employees will be the normal office or worksite to which an employee is permanently assigned. Designation - The Grantee is authorized to establish reasonable rules and regulations regarding the designation of official workstations provided that the Grantee’s entire metropolitan area shall be designated as one official workstation to incorporate the corporate limits of the City. The Official Work Station (OWS) must be either the area within a 50-mile radius of the employee’s work address as designated by the Grantee’s Human Resources Management.  What this means is a Grantee would no longer be eligible for meal reimbursement when working within a 50-mile radius of their OWS.
