2026년 1학기 국내 출장 여비 실태조사 및 후속 조치 결과 공유

 

안녕하세요, 포항공과대학교 대학원총학생회입니다.

지난 봄 수행한 굳내 출장 여비 실태조사 및 후속 조치 결과를 공유해드립니다.

현재 시행 중인 출장 시 지급 금액이 현 물가를 반영하지 못하고 있다는 의견을 확인하였으며, 특히 숙박비 정액 지급액이 많이 부족하다는 점을 파악하였습니다.
대학원생의 실제 출장비 부담과 실비 정산 확대 요구를 학생지원팀에 전달드려, 기존 정액 지급 중심의 출장비 지원 방식이 실비 결제 비율이 늘어나도록 개선되었습니다.
앞으로도 실제 숙박비 부담을 반영할 수 있도록 지속적으로 제도를 모니터링할 예정입니다.

바쁘신 와중에도 설문에 참여해 주셔서 진심으로 감사드립니다.

감사합니다.

Survey Results
- Travel Status
A total of 214 graduate students responded to the survey.
Most respondents reported traveling for business trips 3–6 times per year, and when including some frequent travelers who travel more than once a month, the overall average was approximately 4–6 trips per year. The main travel destinations were Seoul (67.7%), Daejeon (35.9%), Busan (28.1%), Jeju (17.5%), and other regions.

- Ratio of Flat-rate and Actual-expense Accommodation Claims
We investigated the ratio of flat-rate and actual-expense accommodation claims based on respondents’ five most recent business trips. Although there were differences among research groups, we found that flat-rate accommodation claims were more commonly used.

3.
Satisfaction Survey Results
- Accommodation Fee Satisfaction
Respondents showed higher satisfaction with the actual-expense reimbursement system than with the flat-rate payment system.
In particular, dissatisfaction was high for the flat-rate payment system, suggesting that the current flat-rate amount does not sufficiently reflect the actual burden of accommodation costs and that there is strong demand for improvement.

Satisfaction Survey Results
- Meal and Daily Allowance Satisfaction
For meal and daily allowances, although the amounts were increased in 2022, many respondents still reported dissatisfaction. Many students commented that the current business trip allowance has not kept up with rising prices and remains insufficient.

Key Summary of the Student Support Team Meeting

Based on the results of the domestic business trip expense survey, we summarized graduate students’ opinions and delivered them to the Student Support Team. A meeting was held to discuss possible improvements.

We discussed measures to increase the use of actual-expense reimbursement, including changing the default option in the current system from flat-rate payment to actual-expense reimbursement and sending an email encouraging students to use actual-expense claims.

After the system change, we will continue to monitor whether there are actual changes in accommodation claim patterns.

For increases in meal and daily allowances, further discussion will be carried out in the long term after reviewing cases from other universities.

Follow-up Report

Based on the meeting with the Student Support Team, the travel expense regulations were revised as of May 1, 2026.
Please refer to the POVIS notice titled “Notice on Changes to the Graduate Student Business Trip System.”

After the revision and announcement, we monitored changes in the ratio of actual-expense reimbursement claims for domestic business trip accommodation. The ratio increased significantly from 37.4% before the revision (Feb. 2025–Apr. 2026) to 52.5% after the revision (May–Jun. 2026).

We will continue to monitor whether the actual-expense reimbursement ratio is maintained or further increases.

The current domestic and overseas travel expense payment standards applied to graduate students are as follows.
