3. Travel, Lodging & Expense Policy
Travel and direct expenses are billed in addition to weekly, project-based, or mutually executed MSA pricing. The client is expected to reimburse the contractor for the following reimbursable expenses incurred by contractor regardless of any statement to the contrary that your legal counsel may try to sneak into any contract or master service agreement. These are deemed usual and customary expenses in addition to any fees for services and failure to reimburse contractor for such is a breach of contract. While we wish we wouldn't need to state this so strictly, believe it or not there are a certain class of hotel owners that still believe in modern day slavery and human trafficking and will go to all extents to avoid reimbursing what was previously reimbursed amongst decent Americans. Reimbursable charges cannot be waived, and this published document will prevail at all times, regardless of any contract or clause to the contrary.
- Hotel / Lodging: On-site room accommodations, or a standard commercial hotel nearby when lodging is not provided by the client.
- Airfare & Transportation: Commercial airfare, rental-car charges, or ride-share costs required for project execution.
- Mileage Reimbursement: Calculated at the prevailing IRS standard mileage rate. Mileage and travel originate from the primary business address at 126 Western Ave, Augusta, Maine 04330.
- Meals Per Diem: Standard allowance of $75.00 per day.
- Direct Project Costs: Reimbursement of direct, out-of-pocket project expenses incurred on the client’s behalf.
