Question about employee reimbursement policies
by Kayla Hampton 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

Hi Everyone! I have a question about how employees are reimbursed at other libraries. We are a village library and the village clerk does not want the library to have its own credit card. So, when certain purchases need to be made in which the library cannot be invoiced, I am expected to put the purchase on my credit card and be reimbursed at a later date. Between student loan payments, paying for a wedding, and everyday expenses, this can sometimes be quite challenging! Do any of you have a system that is employed at your library that might be a better option for us and that does not involve a library credit card? Thank you!
