Travelling Allowance Where an employee is required to attend or conduct a clinic away from their base hospital, or attend to employer business away from their base hospital, the employer shall, wherever possible, pay all accommodation, meals and travel costs (i.e. the employee shall not be required to pay for such expenses and get reimbursed at a later date). Employees shall be entitled, with prior approval, to claim any actual and reasonable expenses incurred.
Boot Allowance The District will pay $180 toward the purchase and/or repair of work boots for District Employees listed in the District’s Work Apparel Policy and/or at the discretion of the employee’s department manager. Payment will be made by the first full paycheck of the employee’s date of hire and annually thereafter. Boots must meet applicable OSHA standards for the duties assigned.
Education Allowance Provisions in existing Collective Agreements providing for educational allowances shall be continued in effect.
Improvement Allowance a. Landlord shall contribute the Improvement Allowance towards the Improvement Costs in accordance with the terms of this Section. All Improvement Costs incurred by Landlord shall be deducted from the Improvement Allowance, and applied by Landlord to pay the Improvement Costs, as such costs are incurred. The Improvement Allowance shall remain available to be used by Tenant through October 31, 2014 (the “Allowance Expiration Date”). Any portion of the Improvement Allowance remaining undisbursed after the Allowance Expiration Date shall be retained by Landlord and Tenant shall not be entitled to any payment, Rent reduction or offset for any unused part of the Improvement Allowance. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to expend more than the Improvement Allowance.
b. Prior to commencement of construction of any Initial Improvements, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a written estimate (the “Estimate”) of the Improvement Costs. The Estimate shall include “allowance(s),” defined as an estimate of cost for an item of work not sufficiently defined in the documents to allow a fixed price to be obtained by the general contractor for which the Improvement Costs are to be increased or decreased, respectively, by the precise amount that the actual cost of the allowance item is either in excess of or less than the amount of the allowance for that item. Tenant shall approve the Estimate in writing within five (5) business days of Tenant’s receipt thereof. If Tenant does not approve or disapprove the Estimate in writing within said period, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Estimate. Landlord shall be under no obligation to construct any of the Initial Improvements until Tenant has expressly approved the Estimate.
c. If based on the Estimate, the Improvement Costs will exceed the Improvement Allowance, then prior to commencement of construction of any Initial Improvements, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one hundred percent (100%) of such projected excess amount. Landlord shall keep Tenant reasonably informed with respect to construction progress of the Initial Improvements, the occupancy of the Premises by Tenant and costs thereof. Landlord shall submit to Tenant monthly progress statements illustrating the cost to date of constructing the Initial Improvements. The statements of costs submitted to Landlord by Landlord’s contractors shall be conclusive for purposes of determining the actual cost of the items described therein. The amounts payable by Tenant hereunder constitute Rent payable pursuant to the Lease, and the failure to timely pay same constitutes a Default by Tenant as if Tenant shall have failed to pay Rent. Within ten (10) days after submission by Landlord of the foregoing statement, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount, as set forth in such notice, by which the Improvement Costs exceeds the Improvement Allowance plus any amount previously paid by Tenant to Landlord. Landlord shall not disburse the Improvement Allowance until after Landlord disburses funds paid by Tenant for excess costs and provided that the Improvement Allowance is estimated to be sufficient to pay all remaining costs. Landlord shall disburse first the funds paid by Tenant and then the Improvement Allowance directly to the general contractor and to suppliers and subcontractors as Landlord deems appropriate. As soon as reasonably practical upon completion of the Initial Improvements, Landlord shall prepare and submit to Tenant a statement showing, in reasonable detail an accounting for the Improvement Costs and the total amount payable hereunder by Landlord to Tenant or Tenant to Landlord. Within ten (10) days after submission by Landlord of the foregoing statement, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount, as set forth in such notice, by which the Improvement Costs exceeded the Improvement Allowance and any funds previously paid by Tenant to Landlord. If the Improvement Costs are less than the Improvement Allowance and any funds previously paid by Tenant to Landlord, then the excess funds previously paid by Tenant to Landlord shall be used to offset Base Rent; and Tenant shall not be entitled to any payment, Rent reduction or offset for any unused part of the Improvement Allowance.
d. After the Improvement Allowance has been expended by Landlord, the principal amount of the Improvement Allowance, together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate, shall be amortized evenly over the Term, and so long as Tenant does not default in its monetary obligations under the Lease, and fail to cure such default within the applicable period of cure, if any, provided under this Lease, then the balance of the Improvement Allowance shall be reduced each month by the principal amount amortized each month, and upon Landlord’s receipt of the final payment of Rent due during the initial Term of this Lease, Tenant shall have no liability to Landlord for the repayment of any portion of the Improvement Allowance or the interest that accrued and was amortized over the initial Term of this Lease. In the event of an uncured Default by Tenant under this Lease, then in addition to all of Landlord’s other remedies available under this Lease, Tenant shalt also be liable to Landlord for the entire unreduced principal balance of the Improvement Allowance remaining as of the date of default, and interest on such balance shall accrue at the Default Rate.
Meal Allowance A shift worker who works a qualifying shift of eight hours or the rostered shift, whichever is the greater, and who is required to work more than one hour beyond the end of the shift (excluding any break for a meal) shall be paid a meal allowance of $7.95, or, at the option of the employer, be provided with a meal.
Moving Allowance With the prior approval of the Agency Head and/or his/her Designee concerning reimbursable costs, employees involuntarily transferred to a new job location fifty miles or more from the employee’s old residence than the old residence was from the old job location shall be reimbursed for receipted moving expenses, as provided in the IRS guidelines. For the purposes of this section, promotions and the exercise of any bumping option shall be considered as a voluntary transfer. Notwithstanding the above, at the discretion of the Agency Head and/or his/her Designee, employees may be reimbursed for moving expenses.
9.6.1 If an employee, whose moving expenses (all or a part) have been paid, resigns within one calendar year of the move, the Agency Head and/or his/her Designee may require the employee to reimburse the Agency for a portion of the moving expenses, based on the length of time the employee worked after the move.
9.6.2 Employees who have been involuntarily transferred or have exercised bumping rights to another geographical location of the State shall be allowed up to twenty-four hours of time off with pay for the purpose of attending to their personal affairs in their present location and establishing their personal affairs in their new location. Such time off from work must be approved in advance by the Agency Head and/or his/her Designee.

Relocation Allowance An employee who is promoted and required by agency policy to relocate his residence shall be granted time off with pay for one workday for this purpose. In addition, the employee shall be granted travel time to the new location based on the most direct route. No employee will be credited with more than the number of hours in the employee’s regular workday and such time shall not be counted as hours worked for the purpose of computing compensatory time or overtime.
