Compensation for expenses
The employee will be expected to meet the cost of:
- broadband access
- telephone rental
- heating
- lighting
- electricity
- any consumables (such as printer ink cartridges)
Telephone call expenses claims
Employees working at home may claim for the cost of any necessary telephone calls made from their home telephone (unless they are provided with a mobile telephone by the University). Homeworkers should aim to keep such calls to a minimum.
Claims should be submitted via the University’s expenses system, supported by copies of itemised statements highlighting the business calls. Calls will be reimbursed at the supplier’s standard rate. No reimbursement will be made for telephone rental or for options which include ‘free calls’ during the daytime.
Travel claims
For travel claim purposes, the University campus will remain the ‘permanent workplace’ and all claims of this type should be made from the University campus in the normal way, subject to the University’s Expense and Purchasing Card policy. Travel expenses cannot be claimed for any travel to/from home and the University.
