AGREEMENT
Mr. Kenneth Brynien, President
Public Employees
Federation, AFL-CIO
Dear Mr. Brynien:
During the negotiation of Article 8 of the
2003-2007 State/PEF Agreement the parties discussed extension of the State’s
Travel Card program to employees in the PS&T Unit. This letter continues
and confirms the basis on which this program operates.
Certain employees are provided with a Travel
Card at no cost to them. The card is restricted to use for payment of travel
expenses incurred while in travel status in the performance of official duties.
Employees may participate in the program only
if they are expected to regularly incur travel expenses on a yearly basis, and
participation of any individual employee is subject to agency approval. The program
is offered to PS&T Unit employees on the same terms available to other
employees, and any changes in the program that may from time to time be made by
agreement of the State and Travel Card vendor, or that may be made by the State
in connection with its administration of the program, will apply to PS&T
employees in the same manner they are applied to other employees. The State
will notify PEF of changes in the program that may from time to time be made by
agreement of the State and the Travel Card vendor, or that may be made by the
State in the administration of the program.
Employees who participate in the program will
have the option to discontinue their participation at any time with reasonable
advance notice.
Please confirm PEF's agreement with the
contents of this letter by countersigning it below.
For the State:
John Currier
Deputy Director for Contract Negotiation and Administration
