Training Reimbursement for Members
IATSE Local 849's current Training Reimbursement policy reads:
All Members, upon submitting a receipt and a certificate of completion, are entitled to receive 100% reimbursement for approved training/certification up to a maximum of $500 per year.
Should a Member wish to take a course that does not appear on the list of pre-approved courses, or exceeds their $500 annual allotment, they may appeal to the Executive Board in advance of the training. All such requests will be considered on a case by case basis. The Executive Board may require supporting documentation to approve such a request.
Receiving reimbursement from more than one source is permitted, so long as the total amount reimbursed does not equal more than 100% of the cost of the training.
Requests for additional training funds must be pre-approved by the Executive Board prior to the training taking place. Please use the form below to request additional training funds.
Receipts for training should be submitted within 6 months of completion and in most cases will not be accepted outside of the calendar year the course was taken. Reimbursements will be either mailed in the form of a cheque (take 3-6 weeks to process) or sent directly to you via Interac-E-Transfer. Please complete the form below to request reimbursement.
If you have any problems submitting the form or further questions about reimbursement, please contact the Local 849 office
