travel, the securing of travel advances, and reimbursement for travel and
relocation expenses in accordance with Part 301-32, Subparts A, B, and C of
the FAA Travel Policy (TP).

impact caused by their use of the card, the following will apply:
a. Employees will not be required to pay the disputed

b. Employees will not be responsible for any charges incurred against a lost
or stolen card provided the employee reports such loss within forty-eight

d. No credit check will be performed on the employee.
Section 3. The Employer shall timely process all
employee travel vouchers to ensure that employees are promptly reimbursed for
all allowable travel-related expenses.
Section 4. If the Employer does not process an employee�s travel
voucher in a timely manner, which results in an employee�s delinquent payment
(sixty (60) days or more past due), the delinquent payment will not serve as
the basis for disciplinary action.
Section 5. If a valid reason precludes an employee from filing a timely
claim for reimbursement, which results in delinquent payment, the delinquent
payment will not serve as a basis for disciplinary action.
Section 6. If an employee�s charge card privileges have been terminated
because of misuse or delinquency, the employee shall be provided a ticket for
transportation if one is required.
Section 7. NAATS bargaining unit employees are covered by the FAA
Travel Policy.
