Travel Allowance
Travel allowance is:
- paid on a pro-rated basis according to employees hours of work in the previous 12 month period, ending March 31, excluding overtime; and
- based on the number of dependents the employee has on the date of application of the allowance.
Where employees and their spouses are both employed by provincial Government departments or quasi-government agencies (e.g. hospitals, corporations or school boards), the total amount of travel allowance paid to both of them will not exceed the dependent rate for the allowance.
Employees who retire, resign or otherwise terminate employment are entitled to payment of travel allowance proportional to the employees hours of work in the current fiscal year. In the case of death the payment will be made to the employee’s beneficiary or estate.
The following leaves will be considered for the purposes of calculating hours of work for this policy :
- Maternity Leave/Parental Leave/Adoption Leave;
- Injury-on-Duty/Worker’s Compensation Leave;
- Paid Leave; and
- Special Leave without Pay up to 20 days per year.
