I swear some orgs have travel expense reimbursement protocols designed to make you kinda give up and just eat the costs if it isn't too high. From now on, I'm gonna check up on those protocols before saying yes to traveling for an event, wtf.

In 2020, requiring people to print out, hand-fill and scan/return travel expense reports with some bullshit proof of lowest cost tickets etc. is... something. If I billed at my consulting rate, my time doing this would cost more than what they owe me.

will only work if there's a fallback like a senior exec who can just pay an invoice for an amount with a credit card... if you're dealing with a bureacracy in a large org, they'll simply refuse...

If you are consulting, have a clause in your SFOA that says any client admin requirements will be charged for at your afreed rate. If the specific admin requirements are not disclosed in advance the its at your casual rack rate.
