Overview

This article highlights the specifics to non-employee Guest Travel. The process for claiming Expenses for non-employee Guest Travel is similar to employee travel with a few differences by identifying the traveler as a non-employee in Concur. 

Essential Information

---

• All guest travelers must be invited to register in PaymentWorks and complete the PaymentWorks Registration prior to claiming Expenses in Concur. 
  • All guest travelers need to register in PaymentWorks even when they are not claiming any out-of-pocket reimbursements. 
• If the Guest Traveler is not appearing as an active Non-employee Payee in Concur after they've registered in PaymentWorks, please submit a Services & Support case requesting for them to be tagged as a Guest Traveler.
• For full guidance on completing Travel Requests (trip authorization) and Travel Expense Reports (trip reconciliation), refer to KB0032013: How to Create a Travel Requests, and KB0032014: How to Submit a Travel Expense Report in Concur.
• Acting as a Delegate is not necessary, employees will use their own Concur account to manage guest travel and expenses.
• For booking travel on behalf of the non-employee/guest, refer to KB0032823: How to Book Travel in Concur Travel.
• Red alerts in an expense report are hard stops that provide information as to what you need to update or what you are missing.
• Orange alerts are informational and provide key details about policy that you should be aware of upon submission.
