Monarch Plus Purchase Guidelines
Monarch Plus/Monarch Plus Cards may not be used to pay volunteers, suppliers, independent contractors, guest speakers, consultants, honorariums, students, staff, or stipends for goods or services at any time. This includes times when a student or staff member provides service with something like student move in or tutoring, etc. There are a number of reasons for this, but the most important is IRS compliance.
Any payments to students for services must go through the .
There are times when it could be appropriate to use the Monarch card as an incentive such as a raffle prize for participating in a survey or a similar situation. In cases where it is appropriate, the card center will need a description of the situation and the Names and UIN’s on an Excel Spreadsheet of the recipient to load the funds onto the card and provide the information to payroll to add to earnings, as applicable. The Card Center will no longer provide cards that are not associated with a UIN. Ìý
When departmental funds are used to load balances onto a card, Ledgers 3, 4, 5, and 6 are the only sources of funds that can be used in order for us to stay in compliance with the Commonwealth.
If you are a department requesting to fund a student(s) card(s) as an award for participating in a survey, we will need to follow the guidelines above.
