Salesmen’s travelling expenses. The employer shall at all times pay all accommodation, food and travelling costs incurred in sales trips according to invoices. For longer working periods on sales trips, salesmen shall receive a 43% supplement on their monthly wages if the sales trip lasts 5 days or fewer and 65% if the duration of the sales trip exceeds 5 days. This supplement shall be paid on the monthly wage in direct proportion to the number of days during which travel is undertaken in areas outside a 60 km driving distance from the company’s main headquarters, unless other arrangements have been agreed. If salesmen use their own cars, they shall receive payment in accordance with the decision of the Government Travelling Expenses Committee (Ferðarkostnaðarnefnd ríkisins), i.e. out of town; if they use them in town, then an agreement shall be reached regarding daily rates. - For further provisions on salesmen, see Section 1.5.3. (on courses) and Section 2.1.2. (on working time).
