NOTES FOR GUIDANCE - Candidates who attend for interview can claim expenses on the following basis:

1.  BUS OR RAIL TRAVEL

Candidates will be reimbursed for travel in standard accommodation (taking advantage of cheap day return or other discounted rates where available) on the basis of the shortest or most direct route.

2.  PRIVATE CAR

Again, reimbursement will be in respect of the shortest or most direct route; the mileage rate that can be claimed is 37p per mile.

3. TAXIS

Taxi fares will only be paid where public transport is unavailable or in cases of extreme urgency. Where this is claimed, an explanatory note should be attached.

4. OVERNIGHT EXPENSES

Where it is not possible for a candidate to travel to the interview and return home on the same day, actual expenditure incurred in obtaining overnight accommodation and breakfast may be claimed up to a maximum of £30 (receipts must be attached). For some senior appointments, candidates may be required to attend for more than one day and stay overnight, in which case special arrangements will usually be made directly by the University, and candidates will be advised when invited for interview.

5. OVERSEAS EXPENSES

Interview expenses will be paid only from port of entry into the United Kingdom.

6. PAYMENT

Approved expenses will be paid by BACS approximately 28 days after submission of this form which should be returned to:
