Hi, I am a new entrant in the civil service based in kilkenny......I have been told that I can't claim overnight expenses as they are providing accommodation....... I'm wondering if one can typically claim for lunch and dinner in the civil service when overnight accommodation is provided.
An evening meal is not being provided,mileage is not being paid every day,just there and back.It is not even clear that lunch is being provided.Ravima, I disagree.
I worked in the private sector for years and on numerous occasions was sent around the country to attend training etc. not once did I ever have to put my hand in my pocket to cover expenses and I always got time in lieu for any travelling time otherwise I wouldn't have attended the course, I'm sure I'm not the only one that had / has it this way.
Indeed, but you were not looking for EXTRA on top! Private sector people have to do training etc; employer pays and puts them up in accommodation with food etc, but NO private sector employer would then tell them , Oh ya, I forgot to tell ya, ya can also claim extra for being away from home and 'cos you're away from home for 3 nights, you can claim mileage from me for the three nights back home to see the folks, then back to the paid accommodation.
