Subject: Summer Season Workaway Travel Policies:

Hello,

Workaway is on track with the visa process. The documents are currently being collected. We should
start getting the approvals from the USCIS by the end of April, first week of May.
Please do not organize any transportation until your visa gets approved. Once your visa is approved, an
email from Workaway will be sent to you notifying you of the date when your Northern Club needs you.

If you plan on flying, Workaway will work out the departure dates with your current club and send to
you the flight confirmation notice once the ticket is booked.

Most of the US domestic flights do not allow checked luggage to be included at the time Workaway is
booking the flight ticket. Therefore, when you check in at the airport ticket counter you will need to pay
for your luggage out of your pocket. The cost for the first bag will be between $30.00 and $35.00.
Workaway will send you a check in the amount of $30.00 or $35.00 to reimburse you for the first
luggage bag only. This reimbursement check will be mailed to the HR department at your summer
employer. If you need to check more than one luggage bag or if you have excess weight, it is your
responsibility to cover the costs for the second or additional bag charges.

If you are currently working at a Workaway Club, Workaway will organize ground transportation from
your apartment complex to the airport. The ground transportation confirmation will be sent as soon as
the flight information is completed and confirmed. If you are not at a Workaway club, you are
responsible to get to the airport. Once you land at your Summer club, I will send you specific instructions
regarding airport pick-up.

The participants that will DRIVE to their summer employer will receive a travel reimbursement check in
the amount of $200.00 by the end of May, beginning of June. If your expenses are greater than
$200.00, please submit all of your receipts to elavalley@workaway.com and upon assessment of the
receipts a decision will be made by the summer employer as to whether your expenses will be covered
100 % or partially. For those of you renting cars to drive to your summer employer, you may submit the
rental car receipts for reimbursement consideration. It will be up to your summer employer to
determine if they will reimburse you beyond the $200.00 stipend. Workaway suggests you contact your
summer employer prior to renting a car to determine in advance their policy position.
The participants who are booking their OWN flights, if your expenses are greater than $200.00 please
submit your receipts for reimbursement to elavalley@workaway.com. Please note that First and
Business class tickets are not subject for reimbursement. Only one luggage fee will be reimbursed.

All the participants that are organizing their OWN travel arrangements need to let Elena LaValley know
of their arrival date and approximate arrival time, so that she can notify the clubs.

Should you have questions please contact the Workaway office or your summer employer.

Sincerely,

Elena A LaValley
