Setup Travel Modes functionality allows addition of multiple modes of travel modes for employees. These travel modes are available to the employees while creating travel request.
Empxtrack supports up to 2 level drill down for travel modes. For example: you can have Travel modes as Air, Road, Train. Let’s say, Air travel can be further broken down into First, Business and Economy. Travel modes are associated with employee groups and each travel class can have eligibility values. To allow business class travel for your senior executives, create a global group (by using the functionality Setup Employee Groups) with all senior executives. Create 2 Modes of Travel say Air and Air – Sr Exec and include business class in the second group. Assign the first travel mode to all employees and assign the second mode to Senior Executives employee group.
