Travel Expenses

The grievor contested the decision by regional management not to reimburse her kilometre expenses during her secondment agreements covering the period from December 4, 2000 to March 30, 2002. The grievor also claimed reimbursement for actual mileage travelled, starting at the beginning of the initial acting assignment covering the period December 4, 2000 to March 30, 2001 and ending on July 8, 2002, when she was appointed on an indeterminate basis.

The Executive Committee considered and agreed with the report of the Government Travel Committee which concluded that the grievor was not treated within the intent of subsection 7.3.1 of the 1993 Travel Directive. The Committee agreed that the grievor should be reimbursed for the respective distance, 15.6 km (each way), for the period between December 4, 2000 and March 30, 2002.

The grievance was upheld to the extent described.
