Amazon.com
Issue: If employee uses Amazon.com account, the receipt will say “not shipped” and will not charge the employee’s credit card until it ships. Also, if items are back ordered or ship separately, the employee is only charged for the items that ship.
Guidance: Request updated receipt, packing slip, or credit card statement after item(s) ships so there is documentation that the employee incurred the charges. They should only be reimbursed for the items for which they have incurred charges.
Overtipping
Issue: Tips in excess of the allowable 20%?
Guidance for personal reimbursement with overtipping: BSC will reimburse amount of tip up to the 20% allowed.
Sales Tax on PCard
Issue: What should be done when sales tax is charged on the PCard?
Guidance: The university does not pay sales tax or use tax in Ohio and other states that have a sales tax exemption. Users of the PCard are responsible for ensuring that tax is not charged and for making reasonable attempts to recover any tax charged. All taxes in excess of $10 must recouped from the vendor or repaid by the card user. Any tax amount that is not recouped will be considered an exception and will need college exception approval. Pcard Policy 2.23 Section III.
Sales Tax on Personal Reimbursements
Issue: Should an employee be reimbursed for tax for something purchased with personal funds?
Guidance: The individual should be reimbursed for sales tax. They should be encouraged to make future purchases using university methods rather than using personal funds.
Coke Contract
Issue: What should be done if reimbursement is requested for beverages other than Coke products?
Guidance: Purchasing non-Coke products is unallowable per University Purchasing's mandatory key contract. The college should be contacted for exception approval before reimbursement can be processed. This policy should be communicated to all faculty, staff, and students. A list of Coke products is provided on the BSC website.
