Travel time on work-related trips

Remember that you need to register your travel time under register working hours. It is not sufficient to complete a travel expense claim.

Travel time abroad will usually be compensated with 0.5 hours for every 1 hour registered, but some agencies may have other agreements. The system will automatically compensate you with the correct number of hours, depending on your registrations.
