The amount available to eligible employees is budgeted in the principal investigator’s Fund Center, also known as the “Professional Expense Reimbursement Allowance (PERA)”. If eligible employees have any questions regarding the amounts budgeted in their Fund Center, or the clearing of amounts once a faculty member has retired, please contact Human Resources at 416-978-4313.

When processing an expense report, please note the importance of using the correct commitment item (EXP-UTFA). For guidelines on processing expenses under the above program, please refer to the appropriate accounts payable reference guide. There is also a faq page for frequently asked questions relating to processing against the EXP-UTFA commitment item.
