Do you have an expenses plan/policy in place for your staff?

[Guest]

Hello all

 

We are a charity run preschool, with committee run parents with 10 staff.

 

I need to put something in place regarding staff and expenses for traveling to courses but really unsure of wording, miles, forms etc.

 

If anyone has anything they can show me how they work it out i would be very grateful.

 

Thanks in advance :-D

We haven't got anything written down but I think they get car parking or bus ticket back. I really should find out!

I pay mileage for petrol. If they incur any other expense, like books or whatever then I reimburse them - but the book is then the property of the preschool

staff at my charity preschool, can claim bus fare / parking but no one has mentioned mileage. Lets hope they don't read this thread.

 

They also can reclaim money for books needed for courses.

I pay 35p per mile, if you needed that info

Well congrats on your 8000th post! :1b

 

Can I asked how you arrived at that figure of 35p per mile?

[Cait]

Oh my! I Hadn't noticed! Hmm, have to set off a special thread.......

 

35p is what my husband gets, so I just adopted that!

Do you also pay a reasonable amount of travelling time to/from training ?

[Inge]

How long does it take them to normally get to work... you don't pay for that time... is it not classed the same as getting to a place of work?

 

When I worked for LEA they paid a flat travel fee to include mileage in addition to my pay for the day .. sometimes it more than covered the travel time etc.. others it did not.. swings and roundabouts.. but it was always a set fee.

I don't pay their time to get to/from work....but then I don't pay their fuel to get to work either and it really depends whether training was during their working hours or not, whether it was needed/would benefit the setting or something they just wanted to go on....being in a rural area it can take longer to get to the venue than you are actually there for

Never occurred to me to me to pay staff for mileage or petrol. I suppose if anyone had to pay for car parking (which we never have) then we would.

Thank you for all your feedback.

 

It was agreed that staff would be given 40p per mile if attending training over the amount they would normally travel to work but if the course was out of preschool hours then they would receive the 40p for each mile they traveled to and from.
