The Professional Expense Reimbursement Fund (PERF) is an annual allotment for Toronto Metropolitan Faculty Association (TFA) members, governed by the TFA Collective Agreement. Each faculty member is entitled to $2,350 per year as of July 1st, with unused amounts carried forward unless doing so exceeds the $7,200 maximum limit. In that case, reimbursement is pro-rated up to the $7,200 cap. For details on eligible and ineligible expenses, see the PERF Guideline. Additional information on allowable expenses is available in the VPFA's PERF Policies and Procedures. The PERF code in Oracle Financials begins with "1-12" (e.g., 1-12-12345).
Faculty members must submit claims through iExpense under their PERF account; paper claim forms are not accepted. Each iExpense account is pre-set to generate the PD fund account automatically. For guidance on submitting claims, visit the Financial Services Self Service Tutorials. Note that iExpense requires secure network access via TMU-VPN.
