Manner and form of sending employees on a business trip

The employer shall specify in writing:

• where the business trip starts;
• place of work performance;
• duration;
• type of transportation; and
• where the business trip ends;

In practice, various forms are used for sending employees on a business trip and for laying down the conditions of business travel, such as ‘Travel order’ or ‘Business trip instruction’.

The Act on travel allowances does not require employers to use a specific form as a binding form.

It is up to each employer to decide whether they will use a standard form available on the market or they will draw up their own form (using a structure, format and content of their choice).
