Art. VII
Some Particular Cases
When they travel, brothers are to be given their expenses by their superior. On completion of their journey they must give him an account of that money and of any other money they received while outside the house convent.
Brothers who are guests in a convent of the Order should pay – or are not required to pay – an appropriate sum for their lodgings, in accordance with the legitimate custom of the province or of the convent.
If brothers live or work in another province, whether they are assigned to it or not, the priors provincial concerned shall, by mutual agreement or established convention, settle their economic situation. They shall determine what expenses incurred on their behalf must be repaid to the province in which they are living or, on the other hand, what compensation for work they have done must be remitted to the province from which they came.
When brothers have an official position or work permanently in institutions, projects, or other establishments of this kind which do not belong to convents or provinces of the Order, the prior provincial should ensure that a contract be drawn up in which all the conditions are clearly set out. When the brother has an official position in the territory of another province, the prior provincial of the place must be informed of the contract the contract requires the approval of the prior provincial of the place.
