Settlement of travel expense claims
Travel expense claims should be completed and sent within 1 month after travel has been completed.
Claims are settled twice per month, except July. Check the payment schedule (excel) for deadlines and payment dates.
Note: If you have received an advance payment, the on-line HR-portal should not be used, a paper form must be used to settle the travel refund.
Electronic refund form
- Employees who have access to the HR-portal must use this to claim travel expenses. Take the electronic course (unfortunately only in Norwegian at the moment) if you are not familiar with the programme.
- The portal has the correct rates, and generates a travel expense form with the correct total amounts.
- Print the result, attach the required receipts etc. , and send to your local finance officer

Receipts
Receipts should be originals. They should be stapled or glued to A4 sheets and attached to the claim. More about receipts for credit card or internet purchases.
Travel without full cover
Many UiO employees want to travel as cheaply as possible to make their travel budget last as long as possible. They do not claim all allowances they are entitled to according to government tariffs. In such cases travel expenses can be covered in one of the following ways:
- In accordance with receipts
- In accordance with standard diet allowance, but with fewer subsistence days than the employee is entitled to
See separate page on travel with reduced coverage.
Have you not been reimbursed in full for your travel allowance claim?
Advance deductions are made on a number of travel allowance claims: See advance deductions on subsistence allowance and compensation supplement.
