MLA Money
Matters
Gayle writes to remind us. .
.
For your reimbursements at
the MLA, you must have a receipt from the MLA for your membership,
or a confirmation. A cancelled check will not work. Please also
insure you have a hotel portfolio printed out that is marked paid,
with a zero balance. If you are driving, you will be reimbursed
.26 a mile, plus parking if you have your receipt or it is charged
in the hotel portfolio. Your per diem, or meals reimbursement is
$40 per day - $8 for breakfast, $12 lunch and $25 dinner. We will
bill off the standard, so you do not need to save receipts.
If you are flying ( some are
flying from their holiday sites on the coasts), you will need to
submit the hard copy receipt of the ticket (even if you used a
trip number) with your travel voucher, and get a receipt for the
hotel shuttle or transportation used to get to the convention
site.
Please file a travel voucher
with Amy as soon as possible upon your return to IC as we receive
money from the CLA for a large portion of this. Good luck on the
searches and travel safe!
