Important update: APEFs

Last week’s communication from the Employer regarding the option for faculty to make a one-time request for an allowance of up to one year’s APEF allocation to offset expenses related to setting up a remote workspace contained a link that does not work. The correct link is: https://paws5.usask.ca/workingremotely#workremotely.

Please note that there is no requirement to work through all of the criteria described in the Employer’s communication before requesting the allowance. 

In addition, because of the grievance regarding the Employer’s denials of professional expense reimbursement claims, the Employer has adjusted its position on reimbursement eligibility on a number of claims. If you previously submitted a claim and were denied reimbursement, you should resubmit the claim.
