Professional Expense Reimbursement
The Professional Expense Reimbursement (PER) Program provides eligible academic staff with an annual allocation of funds for the reimbursement of eligible expenses incurred for the performance of their professional responsibilities.
At the beginning of each academic year (July 1st) an allocation of $1400.00 is made to each eligible full-time staff member for reimbursement. Newly hired staff and staff who are appointed under a contract less than a full year will have a pro-rated allocation based on the months employed during the academic year.
In order to access allocated funds the eligible academic staff must submit a claim.
