Updates to the NATCA Expense Reimbursement Policy:
The NEB recently approved several updates to the NATCA Expense
Reimbursement Policy. The updated policy will take effect on August 1, 2016. The most
significant change is the increase to the maximum reimbursable amounts for meals.
Specifically, the maximum reimbursable amount for breakfast will increase from $20 to
$25 per person; the maximum reimbursable amount for lunch will increase from $25 to
$30 per person; and the maximum reimbursable amount for dinner will increase from
$50 to $60 per person.
The updated policy also contains additional guidance on the use of electronic
vouchering through Concur, including information on how long to keep receipts when
using Concur, as well as new guidance regarding the purchase of rental car insurance
coverage. The updated policy will be posted on the members-only side of the natca.org
website as of August 1st.
NATCA National Representative Election Information
The elections for the positions of National Representative for the AIR and ARP
units are ongoing. Ballots were mailed on Thursday, June 30th. However, due to an error
in postage, some mail ballot packages are being delivered, while others are not.
Therefore, to ensure that all eligible members in these two units have an opportunity to
vote in these elections, the NATCA National Office mailed duplicate ballots on July 8th.
Assuming regular USPS turnaround times, affected members should have received their
duplicate ballots by Friday, July 15th.
If an affected member receives both the original ballot and duplicate ballot, he/
she may use either to cast his/her vote. However, if an affected member casts both the
original and duplicate ballots, only the duplicate ballot shall be counted. The ballot return
deadline remains the same: 11:59 p.m. EDT on Monday, August 15th. Affected members
with questions or concerns should contact Assistant General Counsel Lauren Schmidt
(lschmidt@natcadc.org or 202-266-9853).
