Travel

FlowFuse team members travel for company events, including the annual summit and trade shows. The policies below apply to all company-related travel.

Expenses

Travel expenses are reimbursed in accordance with the expenses policy. The general principle is to treat work-related expenses as if they were your own money.

Flights

Each employee is responsible for booking their own flights. A per-person budget will be communicated by the event organizer in advance, typically based on estimated costs plus a 10–15% buffer.

FlowFuse accommodates reasonable journey durations and departure times.

FlowFuse does not cover business class flights.

Accommodation

Hotels near the event venue are preferred over city-central options. Accommodation that includes breakfast is preferred to simplify morning logistics.

Visas & Invitation Letters

If a letter of invitation is required, please reach out to the BizzOps team to generate one. Allow a minimum of 60 days lead time to process documentation and account for embassy wait times.

If a visa application is required, the employee is responsible for covering the associated fees. Visa costs are personal expenses, as they are part of standard travel screening that applies to all employees individually.

Extended Stays

Traveling is a privilege. Many employees will visit places they otherwise would not have the opportunity to see, and FlowFuse fully encourages extending a stay either side of a company event, whether to work remotely or as paid leave. Any costs during an extended stay are at the employee's own expense.

Bringing Family

Family members are welcome to join for company travel and are encouraged to attend social events. Where an event is booked at a fixed group cost, family members may join for free. Where costs are directly proportional to the number of attendees, additional family members will be charged accordingly.

For accommodation, if an upgrade is needed (e.g., moving from a twin or single room to a double), the additional cost is at the employee's expense.
