How do I request reimbursement for mileage driven for business travel using a personal vehicle?

Answer

Mileage reimbursement is processed through an Expense Report in Workday.

Option 1: Mileage 

Use for point-to-point business travel, such as driving to a conference, meeting, training event, or other business destination.

  • Uses Google Maps functionality to calculate mileage between locations.
  • Supports diversion adjustments when applicable.
  • Typically associated with a business trip that requires a Spend Authorization.

Option 2: Mileage (Blanket)

Use for recurring, authorized business travel that occurs over an extended period, such as visits to Extension offices or other business locations throughout the fiscal year.

  • Requires an approved Blanket Spend Authorization.
  • Attach the required mileage log documenting the series of business trips.
  • Multiple trips may be combined into a single reimbursement request (for example, monthly).
