As we enter the last 2 periods of the Financial year, there is a freeze on all discretionary spending. This will ensure we close-out the year strongly. Discretionary spending items include:
- travel
- hotels
- meals
- uniforms
- stationary
- overtime
- non essential purchases.
Only I can approved any discretionary spending, please ensure this is clearly communicated to your teams. Some very simple rules include:
- only work from your base site. If you or your teams need to travel that generates costs, it must be approved by myself prior to the travel.
- when generating POs, ask yourself if this cost can be avoided (I will be asking you this question).
- if you are required for a meeting at another location, phone conference should be the first option (I will ask you this question when you submit your request).
- I will only approved overtime on Public Holidays. If you ask for overtime outside of Public Holidays, you will be disappointed!
- there should no work related Toll costs, as there is no travel.
If you have any questions please refer them directly to myself.
