Expense Claims - FMS

The following information is intended to assist you in claiming for reimbursement of business expenses.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

The Management of Occupational Road Risks - MORR (Occupational Health and Safety Standard) has been approved by the University’s Statutory Advisory Committee for Safety and Occupational Health (SACSOH) following a stakeholder development and consultation process and came into effect on 16 November 2020.

This standard applies to all persons who may drive on behalf of the University for business purposes. This includes travelling to conferences, visiting host schools in relation to work placements, travel between University premises and persons travelling from home to a different (non-campus) location for work. The MORR Standard replaces the previous guidance note, Driving Safely at Work. 

The Standard and associated documents can be found by visiting the Safety, Health and Wellbeing webpages here. The Safety, Health and Wellbeing Team is available to support departments in the successful implementation of the Standard, and can be contacted by e-mailing safety@strath.ac.uk.    

The following list highlights some of the requirements that the MORR Standard introduces.
