The director of finance is hereby authorized to make travel advances to any employee
or official duly authorized to travel on behalf of any unit, branch or agency of the
city-parish government. Advances will not be issued to any persons whose payroll is
not processed by the city-parish. Whenever possible, a copy of the seminar brochure
itinerary, etc., must accompany the request for the advance. Such advances are not
to exceed the maximum allowances provided herein. All settlements for advances made
as authorized herein shall be placed in the hands of the director of finance on or
before thirty (30) days after the travel has been completed; otherwise the treasurer,
upon request of the director of finance, shall withhold the amount of the advance
from the wages or paychecks of those employees who fail to settle their advances within
the prescribed period of time. Also, no further travel allowances shall be advanced
until and unless settlements have been made as provided for herein.
