1 POLICIES Page: 1 of 17 Category: Compensation Policy: Travel Policy 5-10 Policy Marine Atlantic Inc. recognizes that employees may be directed and/or required to incur travel away from their normal place of work in the performance of employment duties. When such travel is incurred they shall be reimbursed in accordance with this policy. For employees covered by a collective agreement, where applicable, special provisions provided for in the collective agreement shall override this policy. Travel covers a large spectrum of legitimate activities that are necessary to support delivery of services to our customers and key stakeholders. Travel supports the direct delivery of the core mandate and operations of the corporation and its departments. Travel may also support other corporate objectives and priorities. Trips taken in the normal course of MAI business and not involving air travel require pre-approval based upon the limits outlined in Appendix A. This would include, but is not limited to: Trips onboard MAI vessels taken in compliance with this policy as regards lodging and per diems; Trips that are implicit or explicit to an employee s ability to assist in direct delivery of the core mandate and operations of a department; Trips taken by employees whose presence is required in an emergency situation Travel, whose purpose is outside the normal course of MAI business or the core mandate of the corporation and its departments, or where other exceptions apply, requires pre-approval at the VP level or above. This would include but is not limited to: Trips where air travel is required; Trips outside MAI s normal areas of operation, specifically Sydney, North Sydney, Port aux Basques, St. John s and Argentia; Training and Manager s Forums

2 Page: 2 of DEFINITIONS The following definitions apply for the purpose of this procedure: 1.1 Appropriate documentation: all relevant approval forms, legible receipts, statements and other forms of expenditure support required for Marine Atlantic expense document retention and Canada Revenue Agency requirements. 1.2 Approver: all travel must be pre-approved at the appropriate level as outlined in Appendix A. Post travel approval is required if the total cost exceeds: (1) the pre-approved amount by 20% or (2) the original Approvers limits as outlined in Appendix A. Individual managers will continue to approve all other travel and expense claims. 1.3 Blanket Travel Authority (BTA): authorization for travel which is continuous or repetitive in nature, with no variation in the specific terms and conditions of trips and where it is not practical or administratively efficient to obtain prior approval for each individual trip. Any exceptions to the blanket travel authority (BTA) parameters shall require that the individual trip be specifically approved, prior to travel status, where possible. BTA does not apply to groups of employees. Employees may have more than one BTA simultaneously. 1.4 Claimant: any person making a claim under this policy and procedure terms 1.5 Employee: any Marine Atlantic employee 1.6 Group pre-approval: a group of employees that are required to travel for the same purpose on a single authorization. 1.7 Travel Plan: a departmental level travel plan listing anticipated itemized travel costs for a specified period of time. Travel plans may be utilized in situations where departments and managers can predict in detail who will need to travel, and when and where. A travel plan should include sufficiently detailed travel cost estimates and a rationale, as set out in Appendix B (Table 1 Checklist of Trip Authorization Elements), where the approved plan is to be used to confer expenditure initiation approval for travel. Travel plans can be produced on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis, depending on departmental operational needs. 1.8 Training Plan: a training department plan listing anticipated courses as well as the costs associated with each course. This plan is signed off annually by the CEO and Board of Directors.
