63 the point of departure, number of hours travelled, etc. Experts who wish to travel by car are required to notify substantive offices of OHCHR well in advance of the session or visit, in order to avoid complications arising from the issuance and cancellation of an authorization for travel through other means. Experts can expect reimbursement through bank transfer following submission of a travel claim, which must be submitted shortly after the completion of their travel. If the claim is not submitted in a timely fashion or needs to be resubmitted because of incompleteness, the reimbursement may take some time. 12. Only in exceptional cases, when no appropriate public transportation is available, may the rental of a car be authorized. In such a situation, a request has to be made to OHCHR Administration prior to the departure on mission and a car will be selected based on the established procurement regulations and rules. D. Entitlements 13. For committee meetings and the yearly special rapporteurs’ meeting in Geneva only, experts will be paid their entire entitlement (including daily subsistence allowance, terminal expenses and travel time as described below) by a bank transfer. It is not necessary to submit a travel claim for travels for such meetings in Geneva. Only in exceptional cases, involving reimbursement for self-ticketing, payment of visas, etc., will a travel claim be required. 14. In order to implement these payment arrangements of the entire entitlement, staff members from the substantive unit are required to submit attendance records as supporting documentation. Each expert is required to attend the sessions and to sign the attendance list on a daily basis confirming his/her attendance. No daily subsistence allowance will be payable for any day on which the expert is not present at the meetings scheduled for that day. It is to be noted that if an expert is absent on a Monday or Friday, the weekend will be recovered as well (see ST/SGB/107/Rev.6, para. 10 (b)). Any excess daily subsistence allowance paid will be recovered from the payment for the next meeting session. 15. The arrangement of full entitlement does not apply for individual missions to Geneva, such as when an expert presents a report to the Human Rights Council. In these cases, a partial payment will be made on arrival, with the remainder to be settled through submission of a travel claim, i.e., for travel time, terminal expenses, etc. For official travel to Geneva including only a one-night stay, the DSA will be reimbursed on the travel claim.
