Delegate Entitlement
All bargaining units in the BPS Corrections are invited and are encouraged to attend. Each bargaining unit is entitled to send two (2) members, in addition to the Divisional Executive. The locals can select delegates if a general membership meeting is not being held prior to the deadline. Alternates may attend at the expense of the local.
Hotel Room Bookings
In accordance with the OPSEU/SEFPO Policy Manual (Section 4.2), OPSEU/SEFPO does not reimburse for accommodation for members living within 60 kilometres of the hotel unless it is necessary for their participation in a late evening session or where it is cheaper to provide accommodation than it is to pay mileage.
OPSEU/SEFPO will be booking all hotel rooms centrally. Delegates may choose to have their room centrally paid by OPSEU/SEFPO or pay for their own room and will be reimbursed for single room hotel accommodation.
If Delegates choose to pay for their room, please save your itemized receipt and submit it through your MemberPortal to submit with your expenses.
Please also notify the Conferences and Travel Unit of any special accessibility needs that you may have with respect to your hotel room.
Any additional nights outside of this policy must be pre-approved by the Conferences and Travel Unit, regardless of Region or distance from the event.
OPSEU/SEFPO Travel Policy
As per OPSEU/SEFPO policy (Section 4.2 7.1), the most economical means of transportation should be used. Delegates may choose to have OPSEU/SEFPO book and pay for flights centrally or can make their own travel arrangements. As per OPSEU/SEFPO policy, you are directed to use unionized providers where available.
Please note all Membership Expense Claim submissions require itemized receipts.
Human Rights Accommodation Request Form
Should you require a human rights accommodation or have an existing accommodation under the Human Rights Code, please complete and submit the Human Rights Accommodation Request Form in full and email to [email protected].
Family, Dependent and Attendant Care are covered expenses for this event for those who require it at the event or at home.
OPSEU/SEFPO Child Care Policy
OPSEU/SEFPO undertakes to provide child care services, when requested, at all union educationals, conventions, regional, divisional, and demand-setting meetings where the membership requests at least three weeks prior to the event. Members who bring their children to OPSEU/SEFPO sponsored functions should normally be required to use the on-site child care service if it is available. The three-week notice will ensure adequate time to process advances when requested. If no requests for on-site child care are received three weeks prior to the activity date, child care arrangements for on-site child care may not be made. If members then bring children to the event without the required notice, the member should be responsible for making their own child care arrangements.
