One such restriction, as contained in the State Appropriations Act, is that no employee paid on a state-budgeted position may receive a salary supplement from any source unless specifically authorized in the Appropriations Act or other state law. This prohibition includes the payment to such employee of a so-called "flat rate" car allowance or travel allowance. Any travel or per diem allowance to these employees must be on a reimbursement basis, supported by appropriate records, and may not exceed the reimbursement for mileage and/or per diem allowed under the Appropriations Act and current state travel regulations. This restriction will apply whether travel funds are provided in Attachment(s)under this contract or from any other source.
