Talk:Expense procedures

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)

Highlighting changes

Please could all changes be marked up? There currently seem to be removals of sentences that aren't highlighted at all here - see [1]. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:19, 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:

1. 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?
2. 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?
3. 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)

Yes, it might be worth including language to the effect that the Chief Exec can make cost-of-living adjustments (which I think is the intent), rather than giving them more discretion. The Land (talk) 19:33, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
