Re: BUSINESS OFFICE MEMORANDUM NO. 89
(Supersedes Memorandum No. 69)
Wage Rates for Part-Time Computer Programmers
Those individuals coming to the University to interview for a position will be reimbursed for their travel expenses in one of the following ways:
- Travel by Public Transportation
Actual cost for railroad fare, bus fare, or tax-exempt airplane fare (coach, tourist or economy rate is recommended, if available).
- Travel by Automobile
Reimbursement at the rate of 7 cents per mile on the basis of map mileage, when it is more economical to travel by automobile, or when commercial transportation is not readily accessible. Otherwise, the lesser of railroad fare (exclusive of Pullman) or tax-exempt airplane fare (coach, tourist or economy rate) may be paid in lieu of mileage.
In those cases where an individual comes to the campus to perform some service, to take part in the Old Masters' Program, to lecture to a seminar, conference, etc., if mileage is to be paid in addition to an honorarium, reimbursement will be made as outlined in paragraph one above.
However, department heads and deans may include with the honorarium the cost of travel calculated as set out in paragraph one above so that it may be paid as a lump sum. In the event this is done, calculation should be made to the nearest dollar.
The department heads extending the invitation are responsible for furnishing non-University personnel with blank tax-exemption certificates and advising them of the required transportation and lodging receipts.
Exceptions to the above procedure will require special specific approval by the President.
