Document background
The Government Contractor Travel Policy serves as the primary reference document for managing travel-related activities and expenses for contractors engaged with Canadian government entities. This policy becomes necessary when organizations enter into contracts with the federal government that involve travel components. It incorporates requirements from the National Joint Council Travel Directive, Treasury Board guidelines, and the Financial Administration Act, ensuring alignment with Canadian federal regulations. The document provides detailed guidance on travel authorization, expense limits, reimbursement procedures, and compliance requirements, while promoting fiscal responsibility and standardization across government contracts. It is designed to be referenced throughout the contract duration and updated periodically to reflect changes in government rates and regulations.
