Expense Policy
Topaz uses Open Collective (OC) to hold its money, and help us maintain transparency on how we spend money. This policy helps people who are submitting expenses, aiming to set out the process and standards, minimising inconsistency in payment requests. Any member of the collective that spent money, can submit an expense to the collective page: by uploading a receipt or an invoice.
Basic steps for spending Topaz money using Open Collective (OC):
- Someone submits an expense. There are two main types of expenses:
- Reimbursements of a prepaid purchase (with receipt)
- Invoices for paid services
- Someone from Topaz’s admin team will approve it using the OC system.
- OC Europe's team reviews it and confirms that the expense meets requirements:
- Having a valid receipt (containing name and address of vendor, the amount, the date, and the description of the items purchased. More info here.)
- A clear picture
- Amounts match
- (if applicable) Invoice is legal and correct.
- Person who submitted the expense gets paid.
Frequency: Topaz will approve/reject claims once a month, in the week that we host an in-person meet up. After Topaz approves a claim, it goes to our hosting service team and who will process this on their next working day which are: Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.
Acceptable Claims: The following is a non-exhaustive list of acceptable claims, it will be added to as the needs arise:
- Room bookings to host our meetings
- Insurance
- Food and drinks for the sessions
- Activities for the young people (e.g games/art supplies/books)
- Printing (flyers/sign in forms etc)
- Public transport from/to a meeting for volunteers or attendees
