Need for Expense
It is the policy of the University that individuals are reimbursed the actual cost of expenses incurred wholly, exclusively and necessarily in the performance of the duties of their employment or work for the University.
The University does not expect staff to pay for goods or services on its behalf where it is possible for the University to pay for these items itself directly (via the use of purchase orders, payment requests, credit card, etc.). Where there is no alternative, it is important that staff who are likely to incur such expenditure familiarise themselves with the rules within the Expenses and Benefits Guide as these are designed to ensure that no extra tax charges arise from the payment or reimbursement of expenses.
