Local 349 believes that members should not be out of pocket for attending union-related events, such as conventions, bargaining meetings, conferences, educationals, and other approved union business.
For OPSEU/SEFPO events, the reimbursement process may depend on whether you are attending as a delegate, alternate, or observer.
Delegates need to submit their expenses directly through the OPSEU/SEFPO Member Portal, depending on the event and how it is funded.
Alternates and observers can claim eligible expenses through Local 349 by:
Advance Request Form:
Use this form before an approved event when you are requesting funds in advance for estimated expenses such as mileage, meals, hotel, parking, or childcare.
Expense Claim Form:
Use this form after an approved event to submit your final expenses for reimbursement.
Direct Deposit:
Direct deposit is the fastest reimbursement method. If you have not already provided direct deposit information, please include the completed form with your submission at Jacob.Chevrier@GeorgianCollege.ca
Direct deposit: 1-2 weeks (direct deposit form needed)
Cheques issued in 3-4 weeks
For help or support completing forms, please feel free to reach out to Jacob.Chevrier@GeorgianCollege.ca directly or anyone on the Local Executive Committee.
