Community Care expects to reimburse new employees for some of the expenses
incurred during the orientation process, as approved by the supervisor, as
outlined within policy and procedures for reimbursement, and as manadated by
Community Care regulatory bodies. Community Care expects employees to use
resources, including but not limited to mileage, in the most cost-effective
manner.
Travel Time
Travel time, to and from orientation, is not considered time worked. This
time is not reported on the timesheet nor will the employee be compensated for
travel time.
Lodging
If the workplace designation for the new hire is 75 miles or more away from the
Community Care central office in Bangor, where orientation is held, he/she will
be offered lodging at a local motel/hotel. The supervisor or designee
corordinates the arrangements. Hew hires that are eligible for lodging but
chose to forgo the lodging option will be reimbursed only the inital mileage to
the irientation in Bangor and on their return trip home at the end of the
orientation. New hires who do not qualify for lodging as described above
will be rimbursed their mileage to and from orientation.
Mileage Reimbursement
Mileage reimbursement is calculated as actual mileage, less normal commute
mileage to and from home to work base designation. (Mileage reimbursement
is capped at 200 miles one way—portal to portal.)
Meals
No meals are reimbursed without prior permission by the Executive Director.
