Letter from Finance Ministry of 20.05.2013 №31-07230-16-27/15177
The Ministry of Finance reminds that a business trip is employee's travel by management’s order over a certain period of time to another location to perform work assignment outside their regular workplace.
Sending employee on training, e.g. a seminar, is not considered a business trip.
Guarantees and compensation for employees sent to advanced learning, training, retraining and studying other occupations off-the-job are defined by Resolution of the CMU from 28.06.1997 № 695.
