HotSW LEP aims to offer transparency and accountability showing the full extent any expenses claimed in the course of their duties. The LEP will reimburse the claimant for actual and reasonable expenses incurred wholly, exclusively and necessarily in the course of its operation and in accordance with the maximum rates and guidance of the policy.
The LEP does not as a matter of course pay expenses to Board/sub-board members or sector representatives for attendance at routine, scheduled meetings, but expenses will be paid in exceptional circumstances where agreed in advance with the LEP Chief Executive . The LEP Chief Executive reserves the right to escalate any concerns to the LEP Board if necessary. Expenditure should only be incurred within the constraints of the appropriate budget and will be reviewed annually.
