Our intranet page devoted to HSC’s actions regarding the COVID-19 pandemic is designed to keep team members informed.
We’ve added a new FAQ:
Can my department move previously expensed travel costs to the new COVID-19 chart string due to the new travel restrictions?
No. There are several HSC team members who will not be able to participate in conferences, events, etc., due to the announced HSC travel restrictions. Related expenses previously incurred by HSC departments for those upcoming trips will remain within the department, and will not be moved to the new COVID-19 chart string. The new COVID-19 chart string was generally set up to handle new expenses specific to HSC’s COVID-19 related efforts. Example: A department paid $625 for an upcoming conference that the participant can no longer attend. The department also expensed a plane ticket for $750. The department is unable to obtain refunds for the $625 conference fee or the $750 plane ticket. Those costs remain within the department and are not able to be transferred to the new COVID-19 chart string.
