Revision as of 11:54, 28 January 2014
Background
The Expenses Procedures were previously embedded within the WMUK's Finance Policy, but will in future be treated as a separate document.
The procedures are left substantially unchanged, except for point 5 of the Per Diem section which gives the CEO authority to revise the per diem rates to keep them current. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:09, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

CE being able to change per diem rates
I think this clause needs some re-thinking. Some questions to think about:
- If the CE can change the amounts, then why are the amounts specified in this policy page? Shouldn't they be split off onto another page to avoid a policy page being changed without the board's approval?
- Isn't there a COI with the CE being able to change the rates and also claim per diems? Shouldn't at least the treasurer be involved in the decision to adjust these rates?
- Why would the CE need to change the rates? I guess this might be due to inflation/rising cost of living; if so, wouldn't it make sense to restrict changes to just being related to those, rather than allowing them to be changed arbitrarily?
(BTW, why was the minimum wage point removed from this section?) Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:30, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- Delegating it to the CEO was to simplify matters and reduce board time spent on it. This includes the treasurer who is not an infinite resource. There is of course a potential COI for anyone who receives a Per Diem - we just have to be sensible. If I did something unreasonable then that would be picked up. Tieing it down to anything seems a bit too detailed to me and would end up with strange amounts. e.g. £26.27. I do not anticipate any dranatic changes at all FYI.
