In recognition of the fact that it might be necessary for children to accompany a parent on a business trip, the following information provides clarity on the GI-TOC’s contribution in such a case.
Prior discussion with your supervisor is required in all instances.
Flights / Transport
Travel expenses for accompanying children are not covered by the GI-TOC and are the sole responsibility of the employee.
Meals
Meal expenses for accompanying children are not covered by the GI-TOC and are the sole responsibility of the employee.
Accommodation
Accommodation costs for the accompanying child (e.g. a two-bedroom hotel room) will be covered by the GI-TOC, provided that the cost is reasonable and in line with project requirements.
