Hello everyone,
Many thanks to those who responded and completed my Survey Monkey questions, I had 20 responses in total and can recommend using S-M as a tool to make gathering responses easier than fielding lots of emails.
Q1. What travel expenses do you pay your library volunteers? (19 responses, some ticked two options)
All travel expenses incurred - ie travel to and from the library for volunteers based in the library. 57.9% / 11 responses
Only additional travel expenses - Home Library travel to a customers home, but not to/from the library. 36.85 / 7 responses
None. 15.8% / 3 responses
Additional comments:
We have a bit of a mixed economy but mainly and certainly for home library volunteers all travel expenses are paid though some don't claim the home to library bit. With Summer Reading challenge we don't pay travel to library and make that clear when we recruit.
Also, travel to additional locations (not home branch) for training, etc.
Expenses paid during work carried out (i.e. deliveries), but not to and from library/ volunteer's home.
Q.2 How much do you pay your volunteers in travel expenses? (17 responses,
45p per mile or public transport receipt. 52.9% / 9 responses
Less than 45p per mile. 11.8% / 2 responses
More than 45p per mile. 5.9% / 1 response
We don't pay mileage, we pay public transport rate only. 29.4% / 5 responses
Additional comments:
46.9 per mile up to 999cc, 52.2 for over 1000cc or public transport receipt
Claims must be accompanied by receipts
Best wishes,
