Travel reimbursements, including travel costs to and from didactic training, are provided by the site and will adhere to site reimbursement policies. How this is handled may look differently across sites such as booking hotels vs. providing reimbursement and/or providing mileage reimbursement based on the site mileage policy. NPTC does require some travel for Didactics and will let sites know what travel is necessary for the training year during Supervisor Orientation. Please follow up with your site for more information about how intern travel is handled.
Please note that reimbursement should be for actual intern expenses. Interns are to provide documentation of mileage and receipts to their sites as required by site policy in order to receive reimbursement. Sites are to provide reimbursement for all appropriately documented requests within 30 days.
Intern work hours are determined by site policies; therefore, the sites establish when interns are considered “on the clock” during travel. Interns should check their site’s policies to understand their work hours during travel times including travel between office locations or travel to and from didactics.
