May I purchase gift cards as gifts with University credit cards?
Yes. Cardholders must document the full names of the recipients, their campus-wide IDs (Social Security Numbers of Non-employees), and the amounts of the cards, regardless of the dollar value. This information must be reported on the substantiation.
Note: All gift cards are considered taxable income to University employees, regardless of dollar amount. Employees will see a pay code on their next paycheck labeled "gift card" including the value of the gift card in their gross income.
What documentation do I need for a PayPal purchase?
An itemized invoice from the supplier is required for substantiation.
Do I need to save my receipts?
Once your substantiation report, including all receipts, has been fully approved by accounts payable, you may discard your receipts.
What do I do if I have missing receipts?
If you have any missing receipts, substantiate them in the Credit Card Substantiation module as normal. Be sure to add a note in the "What" field stating: "(Note: missing receipt)." Replace the location of where the original receipt would have been organized in the receipt file with a Word document listing the items purchased on the original receipt.
- Under $35 – no CFO, EVP/COO, or President approval required
- Over $35 – request approval from the CFO, EVP/COO, or the President via Approval Request prior to substantiation submission and following missing receipt protocol, include the approval with substantiation attachments (in PDF format).
