expenses.

Employees are responsible for paying bills for personal and corporate credit
cards, directly:

Late fees, finance charges, and interest charges incurred as a result
of untimely payment or non-payment are not reimbursable; and
Accounts Payable reviews all employee delinquency reports; failure to
pay may result in suspension or termination of corporate issued card

a business-only itinerary. Additional expenses incurred as a result of
personal travel are not reimbursable. Home country Holiday and Paid Time
Off (PTO) rules apply.
Loyalty Programs
Employees may participate in loyalty programs at their own expense and
keep the benefits. However, participation with a certain carrier should not
influence flight selection if it results in increased costs to Encore.
Checked Baggage
Encore will pay for one (1) checked bag (personal belongings) and additional
bags when transporting business items/property (e.g., promotional materials
or electronic equipment).
Insurance

Employees may not give up their seat on a scheduled flight in exchange for
compensation when on company business unless the newly scheduled flight
will not interfere with a regularly scheduled work day.
Changing, Standby, and Cancelling
Fees associated with changing/cancelling flights are reimbursable, unless
due to the employee extending the stay for personal use. Refunds resulting
from changes or cancellations must be passed to Encore if the employee has
already filed for reimbursement.
Credits or unused non-refundable tickets must be reported to the employees

table below. Reimbursement is limited to the mileage in excess of the usual
round-trip commuting to the office; the same applies to employees working

Loyalty Programs
Employees may participate in rental car programs at their own expense and
keep the rewards, but these programs should not influence car rental
company selection if it results in increased costs to Encore.
Navigation
Navigation equipment is reimbursable if needed.
Delivery Fees
Delivery fees are not reimbursable.
Refueling
The employee should not pre-pay for gas, and should refuel the car before
returning it to avoid costly charges.
Car Insurance
U.S. Rentals
Encores auto policy provides coverage for employees from all countries
when renting a vehicle for company business in the U.S. Additional coverage
is not reimbursable.
U.S. Employees only: Encore hired auto liability coverage provides coverage
for the employee for liability exposure (up to policy limits) for third-party bodily
injury and/or property damage claims. Encore will not reimburse the cost of
insurance options for domestic driving. Therefore, employees should decline
or be prepared to pay these costs. This includes insurance coverage of the
collision deductible and personal accident options. Secondary coverage is
provided by the corporate issued credit card (which should be used, when
possible), and by a separate automobile policy held by Encore, and/or
through workers compensation.
Non-U.S. Rentals
All employees should purchase the liability and physical damage coverage
offered by the rental car company when renting a vehicle in any country other
than the U.S. This expense is reimbursable.
Accidents
If an employee is involved in an accident, the employee should notify
appropriate parties, according to the table below. When discussing the
accident, the employee should stick with factual information, rather than
discussing fault. If possible, the employee should also take photos at the
scene to assist with the facts of the case. None of these activities should
take priority over seeking immediate medical attention, if needed.
In Costa Rica, the vehicle cannot be moved to the side of the road. It must
remain exactly at the place of the accident until the Local Police, Rental Car
Agency, and Insurance Company arrive and the police authorize movement
of the vehicle.

Travel Insurance
All Employees traveling internationally from their home country: Employee

needs.
Travel Funds: Refer to Payment Methods.
Health & Safety
Immunizations: Encore encourages employees to ensure that they are
medically fit for business travel in the Host Country by speaking with a
physician ahead of time about recommended precautions and immunizations.
Some countries require foreign visitors to carry an International Certificate of
Vaccination (Yellow Card), even if only transferring flights in those
countries. When applying for a visa to a specific country, that country will
indicate which immunizations (if any) are required. Doctor appointments
should be set as early as possible, as some immunizations need to be taken
in advance of travel.

Internal Use Only

Page 19 of 31

Global Business Travel and Expense Policy


Immunizations that are obtained for the purpose of business travel, and are
not covered by the employees medical insurance, are reimbursable.
Medications and Prescriptions: The employee should pack enough
prescription medication (if applicable) to last the length of the trip, plus extra
in case of an unexpected delay. Medications should be carried in their
original labeled containers, and packed in a carry-on bag. A letter from the
employees physician, explaining the need for the medication, can also be
helpful if the employee is questioned.
Insurance: Encore is committed to the employees health, well-being, and
protection against unforeseen risks which the employee may be exposed to
during travel. Encore covers all business travelers under a Medical, Life &
Travel Insurance.
Stopover
In the case of a connecting flight where the time between connections is
more than 12 hours, employees may stay over in the connecting city and be
reimbursed for appropriate hotel, food, and transportation expenses.
Workspace and Equipment
The employee should work with the Host Country Manager and the
ServiceNow desk to ensure access to the necessary workspace and
equipment in the Host office, including:

Extended laptop battery if needed for long airplane trips


VPN service check
International electrical AC adaptors

See Cell Phone section regarding cell phone reimbursement options.
3.14.2 In-country
Personal Safety and Security
Encore will not authorize travel to areas that are restricted or inadvisable due
to political or economic disturbances. Even in countries for which no travel
advisory has been issued, employees should have a heightened level of
safety sense and awareness. If emergencies arise, or employees feel that
their safety may be threatened, seek immediate assistance from local
services or authorities (e.g., consulates, police stations).
Office Security
Employees should familiarize themselves with the office security procedures
of the Host Country and must take their Company ID badge with them. This
information can be discussed with the Host Country Manager.
Domestic Transportation
Employees are encouraged to use the most economical mode of transport for
airport transfers and local travel (see Ground Transportation section for
additional reimbursement information). While cost containment must be a
primary concern, lack of familiarity or security concerns at the destination
may influence a transportation decision. All travelers should seek guidance

Global Business Travel and Expense Policy


from the Host Country Manager or Host Country executive assistant
regarding safe ground transportation.

choose seats with belts, if possible (front seat or back seat).

identification page is available in the event that it is lost or stolen. The
employee can carry a copy (separate from his or her passport) and/or scan a

proof of citizenship will speed up the replacement process.
In the event of a lost or stolen passport, employees should contact the
nearest police authority, embassy, or consulate.
Vacations and Holidays
While on business travel, employees should follow the holiday schedule of
their home country. If there is a local holiday, the employee should plan to
