Marble's Travel and Expense Policy

Marble has two methods for handling expenses: Reimbursements and Ramp Card Transactions. This article provides guidelines for both, clearly separating each method and the requirements associated with them.

1. Reimbursement Policy
The following travel expenses may be submitted for reimbursement, provided the criteria are met:
For Scopes with Court Appearances:

• Car Travel (over 200 miles round trip):

  • Mileage at 70¢ per mile for mileage exceeding 200 miles.

• Air Travel (over 300 miles round trip):

  • Air travel (economy class, up to $400 round-trip).

• Hotel:

  • One-night hotel stay, up to $250.

• Rideshare or Taxi to/from the Airport:

  • Up to $75 each way (maximum of $150 per court appearance). Rental cars are not reimbursable.

• Meals:

  • Up to $60/day.

To qualify for reimbursement, the following information must be submitted within 30 days of the transaction date:

• A map of the route taken (if driving).

• Receipt(s) for the expenses.

Reimbursement requests will be reviewed, and once approved, payment will be issued within 10 business days.

2. Ramp Card Transactions
Certain expenses can be paid for directly using your Ramp card, subject to the following rules and documentation requirements:
Approved Expenses for Ramp Card Transactions:

• For the Family Practice Area:

  • Filing fees.

  • Court file copies.

  • Postage or overnight delivery service.

  • Remote appearance via court portal (e.g., CourtCall LA Connect).

  • Service of process.

• For the Immigration Practice Area:

  • Printing of documents, ink, and paper (up to $15 per case).

  • Postage and overnight delivery service (up to $15 per case).

How to Get Reimbursed or Submit Ramp Card Transactions:

1. Sign into your Ramp account.

2. For Reimbursement Requests:

   • Click on "Reimbursement" on the left-hand side, then select "New Reimbursement".

   • Add your bank details (if not already done).

   • Select the type of reimbursement.

   • Enter the client’s first and last name into the "memo" section (only the client’s name—no additional information).

   • Upload the required documentation (receipt, map, etc.).

   • Submit the request for approval.

3. For Ramp Card Transactions:

   • Charge the approved expenses to the Ramp card.

   • Submit the supporting documentation (receipt, memo, or client name) within 14 days of the transaction to avoid card deactivation.

Once submitted, your reimbursement request will be reviewed and, if approved, funds will be issued in 3-5 business days.
