Note: Reimbursements and invoices that relate to the running of a particular hub need to be submitted to the Collective that has been set up for that particular hub.
Doing work with a collective
Before you spend money on behalf of a collective and/or provide services/products to a collective ensure that an appropriate agreement between yourselves and the administrators of the relevant collective is in place. This will usually be the hub coordinators of the respective Food Hub you are working with or the Directors of Kent Food Hubs CIC. It is on the basis of this agreement that you will be able to claim back any expenses you have incurred or be paid for an invoice you submit (for products or services provided).
How to submit an expense
Expenses will only be paid if there is enough income to cover the expenses within the collective. Expenses must be documented with a receipt or an invoice and approved by the collective admin.
Valid expenses are:
- Provider receipt (expenses you have incurred and paid in relation to an activity you carried out for a collective / you pay those and then claim them back),
- Provider invoice (products or services you provide to a collective - you submit an invoice and get paid for whatever it contains, if approved)
Both the receipt and invoice must include the provider name, address, amount etc. Information about the kind of information an invoice needs to contain can be found here: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/12337428
Process:
A member of the collective pays & submits the expense (with the receipt) through Open Collective, this has to be approved by the admin of the collective. On the back end, KFHs CIC will review the expense to ensure it is linked to the purpose stated, then reimburse the submitter.
If you are submitting an invoice for your work to a collective hosted by Kent Food Hubs CIC, you can submit your invoice using Kent Food Hubs CIC as the organisation you are invoicing, but also mentioning the collective you performed the work for (in your invoice). Expenses pay back As long as the expense is deemed valid in regards to the definition in the preceding point, it will be approved and paid.
Expense processing occurs weekly and cover the expenses raised during the past 7 days. If there is any question, you will be notified either on email or via public comment on Open Collective. Preferred method of reimbursement is paypal; please provide your paypal address.
When your expense is above £200 we will transfer the funds via bank transfer. Please add your bank details by setting a 'Custom Payout Method'. Processing these will take longer than 1 week.
