GAS REIMBURSEMENT – ADDENDUM
The following responses came in late, so EIN is including them this
month, given the timely nature of the topic. See all the other responses
from last month under
MANAGING YOUR LLI/LLI QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Original Query from Sara Hardman, Lifelong Learning Institute,
Bard College, New York
At Bard we are wondering if any groups have been compensating presenters
for mileage/gas in light of increased costs. We have several presenters
who have asked us to do this and we are studying the problem. We would
appreciate your thoughts, suggestions and ideas. Thanks.
From Sharon Nelson, Learning in Retirement, Jefferson City, MO
Learning in Retirement, Inc. in Jefferson City, MO has been reimbursing
course presenters for some time. We pay them the same rate per mile
as the rate the State of Missouri pays.
From Mary Gardner, WALLA, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN
We have always reimbursed presenters who come from out-of-town, or
given them the option of getting those monies. We use Purdue’s
reimbursement rate which is .585/per mile currently (since 7/01/08.)
I don’t know where Bard College is located in NY nor what distances
they are talking about. We make no other compensation to our presenters.
From Jim Lindberg, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, University
of Alabama at Huntsville
This is in response to the Bard College question about gas reimbursement.
We do not provide any compensation for any of our instructors of regular
courses. Everyone lives within a relatively short distance of the
campus where most of our classes are presented. We do have special
programs where some of our presenters are from out of town. In some
cases we have agreed to transportation compensation. This compensation
is agreed to up front before commitments are made. We would anticipate
more of this will be required in the future because of the high cost
of oil and gas.
