* Reimbursement.

	* To receive reimbursement, send hotel and flight/rail receipt, 

	  along with a list of Per Diem days and totals to 

          accounting@sfconservancy.org.  Refer to the Expense Report 

          section below for details.  

        * Your complete reimbursement request must be submitted to

	  accounting@sfconservancy.org within 90 days of the last date of

          travel.  Untimely requests *will not be reimbursed*.

== Reimbursement Procedure

Note that reimbursements are only processed once per week.  While we usually

can turn around reimbursements in about two weeks' time, please be advised

that Conservancy officially does reimbursements on a NET-30 basis, starting

from the date that complete materials are received.  If this is an issue,

Conservancy is available to prepurchase expensive items like airline tickets

on your behalf, so that you don't need to be reimbursed.

If you seek to be reimbursed for Conservancy Project expenses, please send

the following, in a self contained email (with attachments as necessary),

cc'ing your Project Leadership Committee address (PROJECT@sfconservancy.org)

for Project approval:

  * a brief paragraph explaining what was accomplished for the project

    during your travel and/or with the funds being reimbursed.  This can

    be informal; it's just for our records to confirm the travel advanced

    the not-for-profit mission of both Conservancy and the project.

  * A brief report listing the items to be reimbursed.

  * Full receipt(s) for everything, unless the travel policy does not

    require receipts (e.g., for per diem expenses).

    If your receipts are in a different currency than your preferred one

    for reimbursement, include documentation of the rate conversion (e.g., a

    redacted credit card statement in your preferred currency).  Otherwise,

    Conservancy will use the prevailing rate for the date of the expense for

    conversion.

    Please verify that the receipts that you submit are within the attached

    travel policy requirements.  Note, however, that your Project Leadership

    Committee may have set a stricter budget than what the general

    Conservancy policy allows.

  * How you'd liked to be reimbursed. The four payment options, in order of

    Conservancy's preference, are:

      preferred currency.  (Please verify that PayPal supports transactions in

      https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/sell/mc/mc_intro-outside[your

      preferred currency before choosing one].)

      Note that sometimes PayPal charges fees.  Usually we're taking

      funds from our PayPal balance, which means no fees appear on our side,

      but they may appear on yours.  In our experience, USA PayPal account

      holders physically in the USA are not typically charged fees; but we do

      advise you to check PayPal's fee schedule before choosing this method.

            in USD will be paid in USD, regardless of your preferred currency

            selection.

    * Issue you a check in USD from a USA bank, sent to you via post.

      For this option, I just need your postal address.

    * Wire the amount in your local currency to your bank account in your

      country.  For this option, I need as much of the following information

      as it's possible for you to collect.  While some of this information

      isn't always needed, the more I have, the less likely there will be

      problems with your wire.  If a field is mandatory, it's noted in

      parentheses below.  Mandatory fields differ by country of receipt.

                  Preferred Currency

                     (absolutely mandatory)

                  SWIFT and/or BIC Code

                    (mandatory for non-USA wires)

                  Correspondent Bank ACH and Name of that Bank

                    (This is not mandatory, but note that USA banks charge

                     fees during wire transit to direct an international

                     wire.  Since Conservancy's payment is coming from the

                     USA, it's best if you ask your own bank what USA

                     correspondent bank they prefer for USA wire transfers.)
