How should a church make reimbursement for purchases made by a volunteer?

Every once in a while, a volunteer will purchase a curriculum or supplies for a church related activity or ministry. Is there a right or wrong way for the church to reimburse the volunteer for the items?

Reimbursements
by: Anonymous

You must have a form in place that must be used for all reimbursements that are made.

Date,who is was given to, what is was for, check number and a small explanation.

Receipt(s) should be stapled to that form and filed.

It is the correct way to account for any moneys that were paid to anyone.

If you have a bill or payment due, then a receipt of the payment and/or check number & date written should be written on the bill in question, stapled to it & filed.

If you want to DIY your payroll, I highly recommend you look at using Gusto! It is very user friendly and their support is awesome! Plus they know how to set up and maintain payrolls for churches and nonprofit organizations.

Note: I am a "partner" of Gusto, but as I have told you before ... I never recommend anything that we or our clients have not tried and love =)
