How and When to Use Petty Cash

Petty cash is a reimbursement method for certain expenses, up to $150 per petty cash chit. For example, petty cash can be used to reimburse employees' mileage, supplies, or other expenses bought with own money. It cannot be used for transactions above $150 (use iOU Public) and for incentives. For policies regarding incentives, see How to Pay Human Subjects.

To obtain petty cash reimbursements, complete a petty cash slip with the following information:

• description of items for reimbursement,
• total amount of reimbursement,
• financial account to be charged and proper expenditure type, and
• attach original receipt (if applicable).
  
  

For mileage reimbursements, the individual who will be reimbursed must have proof of a valid driver's license and auto insurance submitted to Garrett Joseph.
