Question Title

* 19. Travel Arrangements and Finance:

Please note the following from the Financial Manual, Article 9.7(d):

Members who choose to use their private vehicle instead of the available public transportation, (e.g., air and taxi), may claim for such travel at the rate determined by the provincial executive upon the recommendation of the finance committee, provided that the total cost to the union does not exceed the cost, available to the union, of the public transportation and related travel costs, (e.g., taxis and parking), for both the member and any member passenger(s) travelling on approved union business.

The member’s expense claim must include a completed airfare equivalent estimate form (FA-733) with the name and local of any member passenger(s). Such claims are not chargeable by a passenger when the driver of the vehicle is already reimbursed or otherwise paid by the union for such travel.

The distance travelled, destination points and particulars of the union business, for both the member and the member passenger(s), are to be indicated on the expense claim form. No expenses are chargeable, by the member or member passenger(s), for any salary, accommodation, meal or incidental costs incurred that would not have been incurred had the available public transportation been utilized – except that, in the case of carpooling, the member and member passenger(s) are each entitled to a maximum of one day's leave of absence and meal(s) allowance for the purpose of travelling to or from a union event(i.e., a maximum of two travel days for a round trip).

Where the union pays directly for extra costs associated with the member choosing to drive their private vehicle, (for example, parking costs at the event location), those costs will be deducted from the amount a member would otherwise be entitled to claim based on the airfare equivalent estimate form referred to above.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON WHETHER IT IS CHEAPER TO FLY OR DRIVE, PLEASE CONTACT THE CONVENTIONS DEPARTMENT AT BCGEU HEADQUARTERS - (604) 291-9611 OR 1-800-663-1674 OR VIA E-MAIL: Events@bcgeu.ca.

Reminders:

All flight arrangements must be made through our on-site Travel clerks by contacting travel@bcgeu.ca. No reimbursement will be made for flights purchased from an airline directly or booked by a travel agency.

Please note the following from the Financial Manual, Article 9.7 (a) Travel Expenses: "Members are expected to travel by public transportation when travelling outside their normal work location (usually by air) when attending union business. Subject to 8.8(c), they will be reimbursed for the actual cost incurred for travel by public transportation. There is no reimbursement for the use of ride-hailing services (Lyft, Uber, Kater, etc.) except in exceptional circumstances which will go to the Treasurer's office for approval. Receipts must be attached to the expense claim form except in the case of using public transit [see 9.7(i)]."
