Travel Directive – Travel expenses

Background

The employee grieved the department's refusal to reimburse travel expenses from December 15, 2003 to May 13, 2005 while on assignment.

Executive Committee Decision

The Executive Committee considered and agreed that the employee was treated within the intent of the Travel Directive. It was agreed that the employee was not on travel status during the period of the temporary assignments which were staffing actions for a period of time in order to accommodate the employee's request to work in the same location as the relocated spouse. As such, the grievance was denied.
