Requesting Petty Cash

The procedure to request petty cash is as follows:

• Petty cash is for emergencies or to re-imburse small expenditures…such as:

           carfare, refreshments for meetings, baby sitting

             Anything over $30.00 needs to be vouchered. 

•  If you are planning a meeting and know that you are going to spend over $30.00 in food, then you need to request a check.  Ask the Office Manager or your supervisor to fill out a voucher for you.  Checks are cut on Tuesday mornings and Thursday mornings.   If you need to have the money for Wednesday evening, then the check needs to be cut that Tuesday morning in order for it to be signed by Tuesday afternoon and ready by Wednesday morning.
