MANHASSET EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
MSCA Reimbursement & Vendor Expenses Policies
All reimbursements MUST be made within 30 days of expense. This is an IRS Rule therefore after 60 days we cannot accept any reimbursements.
Audit rules require all reimbursements to have a written request describing purpose/use and all receipts and supporting documents.
The SCA is a “tax exempt” organization making items purchased for the use of the organization exempt from sales tax. Tax will not be reimbursed. Obtain an Exempt Organization Certification Form from the School President or from the SCA Executive Treasurer.
Non-Reimbursable Expenses
Any expense incurred more than 60 days before submission is not allowable.
Any expense in the following categories - alcohol, gambling, or any other category that is deemed unacceptable by the SCA Executive Board upon review ,
Any expense missing supporting documentation such as receipts, invoices etc,
Extended Extras/Saturday Series teacher instructional fees without a teacher contract signed by the SCA President,
Any expense being paid to a vendor without the tax ID,
Any student assistance form without all the proper approvals from the school principal and SCA school president
Tips to vendors and service providers must be reasonable, limited only to cases that are necessary, and are to be limited to maximum of 20%. For compliance purposes- a detailed explanation of reason for tips must be included with the check request. Tips more than 20% and lacking reasonable explanation will not be reimbursed or paid.
When possible, expenses should be paid to the vendor directly by the MSCA, pursuant to a duly executed contract or invoice, not by way of reimbursement to the volunteer coordinating such purchase.
Expenses that are not provided for in the SCA Budget must be pre-approved by the appropriate
SCA President.
ALL expenses must be approved and go through the channels. There are no expenses that do not require approvals.
Payment will be mailed out within 15 days of receipt by the executive treasurer of the complete form. Please plan accordingly if payment is needed by a certain date.
