Funding of Overseas Conference Leave Sample Clauses

Funding of Overseas Conference Leave i) Allowance a) Staff who have one year of eligibility may take up to one third of the maximum grant; staff who have two years of eligibility may take up to two thirds of the maximum grant (calculations will be made in terms of whole years). b) Staff may opt to use either one or two years less than their full eligibility, with corresponding grant, and so retain some eligibility. For example, a staff member with maximum eligibility (three years), may use one third of her or his eligibility, say for a conference in Australia, and retain two years of eligibility. If that staff member does not use the remaining eligibility for another funded Overseas Conference Leave in the same year, she or he returns to maximum eligibility on 1 January of the following year. ii) Financial assistance from elsewhere a) Any financial assistance received towards the Overseas Conference and/or research activities undertaken during the leave should be reported to the Faculty Leave Committee. b) Such assistance does not affect the allowance provided the total amount received does not exceed the total expenses incurred (travel, accommodation, conference fee and other relevant expenses including those related to research activities). c) Where the total amount received exceeds total expenses, the Faculty Leave Committee allowance will be reduced accordingly.
