Good evening,

At our November 4, 2020 Executive Meeting, the Committee reviewed
meal expense receipts.

As per Section 13 (e) of our By Laws, a receipt must be submitted and the per diems are stated. Although it does not state what is to be stated on the receipt, we have always inferred that it should be itemized. This is not only to help our Auditors but to keep us all accountable to our Local.

On a going forward basis as of November 5, 2020, meal expenses will only be paid if the meal receipt is itemized and we will not pay for food that is considered groceries nor receipts that is labelled meat or other single item grocery purchases.

Thank you,

Executive Committee
