Register daily allowance for travel abroad
When you travel for work as an employee, you are entitled to an daily allowance to cover the living expenses that you have to pay yourself. The allowance is calculated based on total hours and differs between countries.
How to register daily allowance for travel abroad by plane or boat
1. Create a new transaction
When you have logged in, you are starting on the page called Dashboard. Here you can register the daily allowance by clicking on "Daily allowances+".
2. Register allowances
Now you must fill in travel times between the countries starting from the time you leave your home/KTH to go to the airport. Departure from country and arrival to country are indicated in local time in the respective country. Note! You should not indicate if you stopped over due to a transfer! There is also a video that you can watch here: Daily allowance abroad
Follow these steps, for example, a trip from Sweden to England round trip is entered as:
1. Departure: Add date and time of departure from your home or KTH until the date and time of your flight departure. Click on calculate allowances + Add more.
2. Time in the air: Add date and time of the flight departure time until the date and time the flight lands in England.

To take in to consideration!
If you intend to have vacation in connection with a business trip then you are not entitled to daily allowance during that period. You must also state this in your travel order and your supervisor must approve the vacation. Its not possible to create interruptions in KTH-RES. Instead, report the days for which you want an allowance. See how: How to register allowances when you have had a holiday
