USA Operations Centers Credit Card Policy May 2017
Not Applicable
See General Information
The corporate credit card cannot be used to obtain cash advances, bank checks, traveler's checks, or electronic cash transfers for expenses other than those incurred by the assigned employee named on the card, or for personal expenses. Misuses of the card will result in cancellation of the card and withdrawal of corporate credit card privileges. If the card is used for an employee's personal expenses, the employer reserves the right to recover these monies from the employee cardholder. Cardholders will be required to sign a declaration authorizing the company to recover, from their salary, any amount incorrectly claimed. Regular, full-time employees may apply for a corporate credit card but must obtain prior, written approval from their supervisor using the attached support document. To be eligible for a corporate credit card, an employee must travel frequently in the course of his/her duties, purchase significant volumes of goods and services for use by the employer, or incur other regular frequent business expenses of a kind appropriately paid by credit card.
Each card will be limited to a maximum of $1,000. Increases to the established maximum may be made on a case-by-case basis by Financial Services.
Corporate credit card expenditures must be reconciled and submitted with original receipts to Financial within 10 business days of the statement date. Cardholders who have not reconciled and submitted their monthly expenditure within this period will be asked to reconcile and submit their monthly expenditure immediately or commodity requisition. Continued or repeated non-conformance to this policy will result in cancellation of the card and such other actions as appropriate. If the card expenditures are not reconciled and submitted within a month of the statement date or a plausible explanation has not been received by Financial Services, the employee's corporate credit card will be cancelled.
Lost or stolen cards must be reported immediately to Financial Services.

If the corporate credit card is lost or stolen, I will report it immediately to Financial Services.
If I resign from the company, I will return the card with a final reconciliation of all expenditures prior to departure.
