Prepare your team for UBC’s updated Business Expense Rules for faculty and staff

Campaign Overview  

At some time, most employees at UBC will need to use university funds to conduct university business. UBC’s Business Expense Rules form the framework for reimbursing these expenses and help ensure we all use public funds reasonably, appropriately and efficiently.  

The university has recently updated our Business Expense Rules. The revised rules will come into effect on April 1, 2022 and will be available for faculty and staff on the UBC Finance website 

We would like your help with informing the community about the new rules and how they can find more information.
