Accommodation Costs
Lodging choices should meet the assignment requirements for security, communications, and location—while not being classified as exclusive or luxurious.
Search via Airbnb or a relevant system for a comfortable accommodation in your area
Go for Twin-sharing rooms instead of single rooms when travelling with a group
Air & Rail Travel
Economy class or second class should be used on all routes
Team members can elect to upgrade class at any time when they pay the cost difference between the class fare on their ticket
When a lesser expensive overnight train travel can cover the journey, the team member should take it
Association & Membership Fees
We encourage you to join relevant associations for your career. I.e., Drupal Association
In some cases, Axelerant may require reasonably demonstrated contributions for fee coverage.

Axelerant will fully cover the first two certification testing attempts and 50% of the third. No further reimbursement is possible.

Miscellaneous expenses
While travelling for work, we usually have many miscellaneous expenses which are not planned in advance, for such type of expenses, all team members are eligible for a per diem allowance of INR 1500 / USD 30.
Per diem allowance can be for daily meals/groceries, internal transport via cabs/taxi/metro/rickshaw, etc. The per diem allowance is a reimbursable benefit, which means, bills/receipts of the expenses incurred should be submitted via Zoho Expense/Xero to avail this benefit. This will be over and above the accommodation and travel fares.
