Business Rule: Conveyance Allowance Calculation |
[BR001] |
Description |
Describes the calculation method for a student daily conveyance allowance based on the distance the student lives from his/her enrolled school or nearest school bus stop. Taken into account are other students being given a conveyance allowance awarded to the same caregiver. When more than one student is involved, the maximum allowance can be less (depending on distance) than the sum of single student maximums.
Rule |
The Conveyance Allowance is based on the following information:
NOTE: Typically the situation will be one caregiver, one student, and therefore a single KM value. But this business rule takes into consideration both different numbers of students for the same caregiver, and cases where the distances involved are different (e.g., one or more students attending a primary school and one or more students attending a secondary school). Also, it is not necessary that the applications for the different students be processed together. Each time one is processed, STS will take into account the combined set of students and distances.

7 5 - 2.4 = 2.6; rounded up = 3; times 4 = 12; times 0.27 = $3.24; divided by 1 student = $3.24; $3.24 is less than $4.72 therefore the conveyance allowance amount (per student) is $3.24 (total $3.24 per day for the family)
8 20 - 2.4 = 17.6; rounded up = 18; times 4 = 64; times 0.27 = $17.28; divided by 3 students = $5.76; $5.76 is more than $4.72 therefore the conveyance allowance amount (per student) is $4.72 (total $17.28 per day for the family)
9 3.4 - 2.4 = 1; rounded up = 1; times 4 = 4; times 0.27 = $1.08; divided by 2 students = $0.54; $0.54 is less than $4.72 therefore the conveyance allowance amount (per student) is $0.54 (total $1.08 per day for the family)
