Member Expense Policy

Expense requests must be turned into the union office within 90 days of the event. All expense requests must be accompanied by an original receipt. Copies, credit card receipts, or bills are not considered receipts.

Members are eligible for mileage and parking reimbursement if they are an executive board member attending an executive board meeting or delegate assembly, a member organizer or member political organizer, or have been pre-authorized by an officer of the union. Mileage is paid at the current IRS rate for miles over 20 miles a day.
