Q. I submitted a requisition for reimbursement. Why was I not reimbursed the sales tax portion of my refund?
Elizabethtown College is a tax-exempt institution. Please contact the Business Office if a tax exempt form is needed.

Q. To what fiscal year budget will my purchase be charged?
All purchases will be charged to the fiscal year in which the goods are received or the services are performed.

Q. What should I do if I receive a refund check from a vendor?
If a vendor sends a refund check for any item previously paid with College funds, please submit the check and any backup directly to Accounts Payable with a brief explanation as to why you received this refund. Please indicate the PO#. Accounts Payable will process the credit to the designated department on the original purchasing document.

Q. Does Accounts Payable process honorariums?
If the person whom we are paying is on the Elizabethtown College payroll (includes work study students, part-time employees, etc.) the payment must be processed through Human Resources. If it is determined that the payment should be processed through A/P, please be sure to provide his/her Social Security number and the current mailing address.

Q. What if I need a payment to be made in foreign currency?
Contact beckr@etown.edu for arrangements. For an estimate, visit the Universal Currency Converter site.

Q. How can our department pay another department?
Send a transfer request form to Erica Barley indicating the account to charge and the account to credit.

Q. How does Petty Cash work?
If an employee or student is due a reimbursement under $75, petty cash will be given instead of a check.  Advances for under $75 are also given in cash. A signed requisition, along with an original receipt, must be presented to the Business Office to receive petty cash.
