Can I get reimbursed for gratuities and porterage tips?
No, tips are not reimbursable expenses for state employees. In cases where travel is to large out-of-state cities where carrying your own luggage is not an option, reasonable tips may be reimbursed. Also, if you must carry heavy, excess equipment needed to conduct official University business, reasonable tips may be reimbursed. Either of these exceptions must be documented and attached to the voucher.
