The wording of the job post is a little confusing, but I think it's saying that any relocation travel expenses are not reimbursable - not the regular travel part of the job itself. Would love for someone who knows for sure to clarify. I certainly HOPE it's not the reality that expected work travel is not reimbursable, because that would be bonkers and possibly illegal?!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're right. At best the posting is ambiguous. That disclaimer was a significant change from prior job postings for government ombuds jobs. Applicants should make sure to clarify.
