Expenses Policy
The Regional Development Team (RDT) will reimburse reasonable travel expenses for individuals conducting approved official business on behalf of the RDT. Generally no subsistence or accommodation charges can be claimed on RDT business. Travel expenses are paid at £0.40 per mile or the cost of public transport if used when less.
In addition travel expenses (at the above rates) and reasonable camping fees will be paid for leaders and organisers of official RDT events. Trainee assistant leaders on these events can claim reasonable camping fees, but cannot claim travel expenses but also do not have to pay event participation fees. Wherever possible leaders should try to share transport to minimise the expenses for the RDT in running events. Many leaders claim only their actual costs when lower than the £0.40 per mile rate - especially on long Scottish journeys!
