Travel and hospitality

Travel expenses for Ministers, Parliamentary Secretaries and Ministers' staff incurred while on Departmental business, are eligible for reimbursement in accordance with the Policy for Ministers’ Offices, and subsequently the National Joint Council Travel Directive. The following outlines the responsibilities of travelers, support staff and the Chief of Staff or Minister.

The Travel Directive can be found on the National Joint Council (NJC) website and Annex G2 of this binder.

The intent of this directive is that those travelling on Government business are reimbursed for reasonable and legitimate expenses they incur while on travel status.

Reimbursement of travel expenses is based on either established rates and allowances or actual receipts.

The Travel Directive outlines four common travel situations referred to as travel modules:

  • Module 1 – Travel within headquarters area
  • Module 2 – Travel outside headquarters area – no overnight stay
  • Module 3 – Travel in Canada and Continental USA – overnight stay
  • Module 4 – International Travel – overnight stay

Roles and responsibilities

Minister (or Chief of Staff) is responsible for:

  • Approval of exempt staff’s Travel Authority and Advance (TAA)
  • The TAA provides the traveller with travel status insurance; commits funding for the trip and initiates reservations / trip planning
  • Approval of Blanket Travel Authority
  • Approval of travel expense claim
  • Reviewing, monitoring and reporting on the travel-related transactions that involve charges to the Minister’s Office budget

The traveller is responsible for:

  • Providing dates, modes of travel, purpose of travel and estimates for the TAA
  • Choosing the most cost effective and direct travel options in accordance with the NJC Travel Directive
  • Maintaining supporting documentation, including receipts and mileage logs for expense claim
  • Submitting supporting documentation, within 10 working days after the completion of the trip, so that travel expense claims can be completed
  • Review and approve travel expense claims for accuracy and additions/omissions

Administrative Assistant and Office Manager are responsible for:

  • Administrative Assistant will complete TAA and expense claim according to Travel Directive and information provided by traveller
  • Administrative Assistant can make reservations based on travel directive
  • Office Manager to enter into financial system once all signatures have been received within 2 business days of receiving the claim
  • Office Manager to provide status of reimbursement

n/a = not applicable R = reimbursed based on receipts PD = reimbursed based on per diem A = See Appendix A of Travel Directive

*The cost of alcoholic beverages will be removed from expense claims when receipts are used for reimbursement.

** There are exceptional circumstances where accommodation can be paid, so incidentals would also be payable in this case

Methods of Payment

Individual designated travel card.

Exempt staff that are expected to travel frequently are advised to apply for an Individual Designated Travel Card (IDTC). The IDTC currently being used is provided by MasterCard. The Department can assist exempt staff in obtaining this card.

The IDTC offers several important advantages for government business travel, including:

  • No annual fee
  • Significantly reduces the government work effort and costs required to manage and process travel expenses
  • Free coverage against liability for collision damage on rented cars (provided the rental is paid for using the IDTC)
  • Free additional insurance coverage (e.g., flight delay, baggage loss) and emergency travel assistance services (if required)

Departmental Travel Expense Card

When travel has been booked directly with carriers or a travel agency (because of direct savings or the offer of better scheduling), claims for reimbursement can be made following each trip, or the authorised expense can be charged to the Departmental Travel Expense Card (DTEC).

The DTEC for this office is kept by the Office Manager.

Hospitality

Hospitality is defined as the provision of meals, beverages or refreshments in events that are necessary for the effective control of government business and for reason of courtesy, diplomacy or protocol.

There may be instances when a Minister requires a Parliamentary Secretary or staff member to extend hospitality on behalf of the Minister or department. Such hospitality may be necessary because it will economically facilitate the business of the department or agency or because it is considered essential as a matter of courtesy or protocol. In these instances, such hospitality shall be extended in accordance with the Directive on Travel, Hospitality, Conference and Event Expenditures and all the requirements for documentation shall be met. Claims for reimbursement should be approved by the Chief of Staff or Minister, as appropriate.

Separate claims should be submitted when a member of a Minister's staff claims reimbursement for his or her own hospitality expenses and for hospitality disbursements made on behalf of the Minister.

As per the financial delegated authority, the Minister has delegated the pre-approval authority for the provision of alcohol to the Deputy Minister (DM). The standard for hospitality is the provision of non-alcoholic beverages. The provision of alcoholic beverages is only permitted in special circumstances where it is a matter of courtesy, diplomacy or protocol involving non-federal government persons in government events. Alcoholic beverages will not be provided as hospitality at events involving only federal government persons.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

Travel Directive – Incidental Expenses and Currency

August 25, 2010

The employee is grieving the employer's decision to reduce the amount of his claim. The employee alleges that the destination was in the US and since he departed from a city in Canada, he was not "visiting" a location in Canada; therefore, the grievor believes that reimbursement for all incidentals should be in US currency.

Bargaining Agent Presentation

The Bargaining Agent representative submitted that the grievor did not "visit" a location in Canada. The Bargaining Agent representative relied on the definition of "visit" in the Oxford English Dictionary which states: "go to see and spend some time with (someone) socially or as a guest"; or "go to see and spend some time (in a place) as a tourist or guest".

The Bargaining Agent representative submitted that the grievor was entitled to be paid the incidental allowance at the appropriate rate for the destination, i.e. the American rate.

Departmental Presentation

The Departmental representative submitted that the Department recognizes that the employee was on travel status and is entitled to the incidental expense allowance as per Appendix C. It does not however, agree with the employee's interpretation of section 3.3.7 when an employee travels from Canada to the continental U.S.A.

The Departmental representative submitted that as per the NJC Travel Directive, when a traveller visits Canada or the continental U.S.A. on the same day, the incidental expense allowance is that for the location where the day commences. There is no indication that the incidental expense allowance is be paid on the basis of the travel destination. On the contrary, section 3.3.7 stipulates specifically that "the incidental expense allowance shall be that for the location where the day commences".

The Departmental representative submitted that in this instance, the incidental expense allowance was calculated in Canadian currency on the grievor's first day of the travel (March 5, 2009) since the grievor travelled from Canada to the U.S.A. The same principle was applied when the grievor returned to Canada (March 9, 2009); the incidental expense allowance was calculated in American currency because the grievor's day commenced in the continental U.S.A.

Executive Committee Decision

The Executive Committee considered and agreed with the report of the Government Travel Committee which concluded that the grievor was treated within the intent of section 3.3.7 of the NJC Travel Directive.

The Committee agreed that as per section 3.3.7, the incidental expense allowance was calculated appropriately in Canadian currency on the grievor's first day of travel as he travelled from a city in Canada to a city in the United States. The Committee recognized that the phrase "traveller visits locations" can have different meanings, however, the intent of section 3.3.7 is clear that the incidental expense allowance is calculated in the currency of the country in which a traveller commences his/her day. As such, the grievance was denied.
