2. TRAVEL RATES

3. Travel rates are established by collective bargaining agreements or by law. The University allows its travelers to be compensated in accordance with collective bargaining unit agreement rates.

4. TRAVEL RATES As a guide, the Disbursing Office has compiled two travel matrixes for the different bargaining units to assist preparers in processing travel documents for travelers of the different bargaining units. The travel matrixes are broken up into two groups: Non Bargaining Unit 07 and Bargaining Unit 07, (and their corresponding excluded Units).

7. TRAVEL RATES Note: If there is a conflict between the University’s APM and the provisions of a collective bargaining agreement, the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement will have precedence.
