The executive of Local 71202 of the Public Service Alliance of Canada offers a simplified process for requesting reimbursement of invoices already paid by an active union member (local section of part-time professors at Saint Paul University).
Here are the maximum eligible amounts for reimbursement from the Professional Development and Well-Being Fund:
- 1. International Conference participation fees: $2,500/year.
- 2. Fees for acquiring teaching materials (books and technological equipment): $1,500/year.
- 3. Book publishing fees (including self-publishing with distribution fees): $1,500/year.
- 4. Eligible medical expenses: $1,000/year.
Note: 1. The reimbursement request must be submitted by clicking on and completing the form available here or by sending it to the email address afpc.psac.71202@gmail.com. The request must include proof (invoices already paid by the member) of payment for any of the costs associated with the activities outlined in the collective agreement.
Note 2. No member may exceed a maximum reimbursement of $2,500 per year, combining all four expense categories. Under our collective agreement, the year begins May 1st and ends April 30th.
Note 3. In the event of exhaustion of the resources allocated for a given year, the treasurer applies the “first come, first served,” rule with a full refund request.
