EXPENSE ACCOUNTS

Rumours are flying about that the
College will accept charges for
babysitters on faculty expense
accounts.

In our non-sexist, non-discriminating
way, we have assumed that the
employee is responsible for his
personal life and will so order his
personal schedule to accommodate his
obligations to the College. The
College cannot compensate employees
for expenses of this nature.

The good news is that babysitting
fees expended for the purpose of
producing income are deductible from
the income of either parent.
Information can be obtained from the
income tax office and is contained
with the package you pick up from
the post office each year before
filing a return.

Some more bad news: College policy
does not allow us to pay fines for
crimes such as illegal parking.
Moreover, these sorts of items are
not deductible from income for tax
purposes either.
