Travel Guidelines

This Teacher Resources Page is provided solely for informational and guidance purposes. It is not intended to create, modify, or supplement any terms or conditions of any Teacher’s independent contractor agreement with Poker Power nor any Teacher’s classification as an independent contractor for Poker Power. A Teacher’s independent contractor agreement remains the controlling document and governs the independent contractor relationship between Poker Power and the Teacher. Please refer to your independent contractor agreement for the specific terms and conditions applicable to your engagement with Poker Power.

Please make your travel arrangements within a window of 14 to 21 days before the event date.

  • Please ensure that all expenses for reimbursement are submitted within 30 days.

    • A receipt must accompany all submitted expenses. 

    • Reimbursement will not be possible without an itemized receipt. No exceptions.

  • Hotel accommodations are capped at $400 per night. ($500 for New York)

Poker Power will not cover any excess beyond this amount. (Including  taxes & fees.)

  • The per diem is capped at $85 per day maximum ($100 for New York, Las Vegas, and International). 

If your expenses exceed this amount, Poker Power will not cover the excess.

  • If your flight schedule does not allow you to arrive at least 4 hours before the setup time (3 hours for smaller cities), you must request approval to arrive a day earlier and to book a hotel for the extra night. Alternatively, you can request to arrive later on the workshop day.

  • Ultimately, it is your responsibility to show up on time and set up your teaching table. Any delays may be considered a breach of your Independent Contractor Services Agreement. If you're facing travel disruptions beyond your control, such as weather or flight delays, please let the team know promptly so we can address accordingly.

We welcome the opportunity for Teachers to tack on personal travel under the following conditions:

  • Choosing alternative flight times is the same price or less than the price as traveling for the event only.

  • If extending, any additional hotel nights are the responsibility of the Teacher.

  • If extending, any additional purchases (food, Ubers) outside of these windows is the responsibility of the Teacher.

  • In the event that a Teacher independently opts to modify their travel reservation (without a request from Poker Power), any associated change fees and additional costs will be borne by the Teacher, not by Poker Power.

As an independent contractor, you may be reimbursed for certain expenses or given access to Poker Power funds in connection with your contracted services. We appreciate your independent judgment in making spending decisions and ask that you use reasonable care and discretion to help support Poker Power’s financial well-being.

Reminder: All travel must be booked through Deem and expensed on Workday.
