(1) An indemnity equivalent to $0.525 per kilometre travelled for the use of a motor vehicle, calculated according to the most direct road between the domicile of the personnel member of the personnel placement agency and the place of lodging determined by the health and social services body, where more than 50 km is travelled, for a total not exceeding 1,500 km per assignment.
(2) An indemnity representing the actual expenses incurred for travel by public transit, such as taxi, bus, train or airplane in economy class, if the cost of that travel is less than the cost of travel referred to in section 1 of this Schedule or for travel by airplane to a facility situated north of the 50th parallel or in the Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
(3) An additional indemnity, equivalent to the hourly rate agreed on, multiplied by the travel time, for a maximum of 8 hours per trip.
(4) An indemnity for lodging expenses of $157 per day worked, to which is added the amount of the lodging tax, if applicable; the indemnity is reduced by 50% if the overnight stay is in a dwelling belonging to the personnel placement agency or leased by that agency under a lease of at least 6 months. The same applies if the dwelling belongs to or is leased by an enterprise or a person who exercises legal control over the agency.
The choice of the mode of transportation, the dates and the location of the overnight stay must be authorized by the health and social services body. The overnight stay may be authorized where a period of work is planned the next day or where that period ends too late to allow the personnel member of the personnel placement agency to return home.
Travel indemnities cannot be cumulated on a daily basis if they are higher than the lodging indemnity. In such cases, the lodging indemnity is paid even without an overnight stay, where work resumes the next day.
