Subject:   Travel Policy



Effective April 1, 1994, the State intends to implement the enclosed
travel policy consistent with the provisions of the 1992-95 Memoranda
of Understanding.  Concurrent with this PML, the Department of
Personnel Administration (DPA) is noticing all affected exclusive
representatives offering to meet and confer on the impact of this
policy.  The enclosed policy is applicable to all employees covered by
the Fair Labor Standards Act and is consistent with the most recent
Department of Labor regulations and letter rulings.

To assist Departments in implementing this policy, a number of
training sessions have been scheduled at the DPA Training Center as
follows:

February 15          8:00 to 12:00       Colorado-Kearn
February 18          8:00 to 12:00       Colorado-Kearn
February 18          1:00 to  5:00       Colorado-Kearn

Departments are encouraged to send staff who are responsible for
interpreting and applying departmental travel policies.  However,
because seating is limited, we ask that a maximum of three individuals
from each department attend the training.  If necessary, training will
be scheduled in locations outside of Sacramento.  

To enroll in one of the training sessions noted above, please call
Anita Ybarbo or Juanita Bretz at (916) 324-0477, CALNET 454-0477. 
Should you desire a training session in another locale or should you
have any other questions, please call me at (916) 324-0505 or Bruce
Crane at 324-0530.
