1 Policy 2-9: Hospitality and Entertainment Policy: Guest Meals, Business Meals, Receptions Issued: 8-89 Revised: 9-13 I. Purpose It is understood that the business of Fort Lewis College (the College) requires some expenditures of an entertainment nature. In all cases however, there must be a clear, documented, business purpose for the event/expenditure that indicates the event's benefit to the College. While responsible judgment should be used when expending any College funds, particular care should be exercised for hospitality expenditure. Individuals responsible for making decisions concerning hospitality expenditures should always question whether the proposed expense represents an appropriate use of College funds. Thoughtful consideration of each decision will ensure that College resources are expended appropriately. In addition, as with all contract or grant funds expenditures, it is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to guarantee that all expenditures are made in accordance with all applicable contract or grant restrictions. In considering incurring expenses such as those addressed in this policy, PI's should keep in mind that the more restrictive policy/contract terms or budget (the College vs. contract/grant) will prevail. Thus if the contract terms are more liberal than the College s policy, the more restrictive policy (the College) will be enforced. Federal grant funds may not be used for entertainment costs, including amusement, diversion, and social activities, which are unallowable under Office of Management and Budget (OMB) circular A-21. II. Definitions Hospitality Expenses Business Entertainment and/or Other Social Events Business Meals The provision of food, beverages, activities, or events for the purpose of promoting and furthering the mission of the College. Events involving faculty, staff or students, and guests of the College in which a substantial purpose of the event is social in nature. Meals at which faculty, staff, students and other external parties are present for the purpose of conducting focused discussions on College business, which include: banquets, committee meetings, conferences, departmental meetings, interviewing prospective employees, potential donors, recruiting prospective students, research sponsors/collaborators, retreats, seminars, and workshops.

2 III. Key Compliance Matters From an IRS perspective, for meals and entertainment to qualify as a business expense, they must be ordinary and necessary and not lavish and/or extravagant and must be directly related to or associated with the College's mission. In addition, a College employee must be present at the meal/event for it to meet the IRS business expense regulations. Because the IRS imposes strict substantiation/documentation requirements on such expenditures, the College must be able to provide the following documentation on such expenses: Total amount of reimbursement/payment requested Date, time, and place of function Specific business purpose served by the expenditure Business relationship to the College of each person in attendance Submittal of expenses for reimbursement within a reasonable time limit a. Amount Expenditure amounts for business meals must be reasonable and acceptable. The cost of alcoholic beverages consumed during a meal will not be reimbursed. Where applicable and appropriate, tips and gratuities may be allowed, but shall not exceed 20% of the allowable portion of the bill b. Business Purpose/Relationship of Attendees For a business meal to be reimbursed, a business purpose with a list of attendees and their business relationship to the College is required by the IRS regulations. A detailed list of attendees will be required for meals up to and including 10 people. For a group of more than 10 people, a description of the group will suffice. A specific business purpose must be documented for all expenditures for which an employee is requesting reimbursement. This information should be provided with the check request form. Business purpose must be specific. Dinner with donor to discuss alumni event ideas: is an appropriately documented business purpose. Dinner with donor: is not. The business purpose of an expense may be obvious to the employee, but not to a thirdparty reviewer, such as the IRS. c. Receipts Original receipts for all expenses are required for reimbursement or filed with p-card documentation. A receipt must contain: the date of purchase the vendor name itemized list and unit price of the purchased items the total amount

3 No reimbursement will be made for non-itemized or missing receipts unless accompanied by a statement explaining the expenses and reason for not providing itemized receipts, which has been approved by the Controller. P-card users will be randomly audited to ensure all itemized receipts are maintained. d. Reimbursement Submission Time Limit Reimbursement requests must be submitted no later than 60 days after the date of the expense, or the end of the fiscal year, whichever is sooner. IV. Allowable Hospitality Expenses: Allowable hospitality expenses have been divided into general categories. They include Meals or Refreshments Served during Business Meetings, College Functions, Receptions, and Retreats, Meals and Flowers Purchased by Student Groups, and Meals Provided during Class Field Trips. Allowable hospitality expenses are the responsibility of departmental and/or Vice President budgets. Sponsored program accounts may be used if the expense is specifically approved in the budget and is in accordance with sponsor restrictions and College policy. When charging hospitality expenses to the above funding sources, expenses for alcoholic beverages are prohibited. Following is a description of each of the categories along with examples of allowable hospitality expenses. a. Meals or Refreshments Served During Business Meetings: The College may pay or reimburse individuals for actual expenses incurred for meals whose primary purpose is a business discussion. Business meals must include at least one non-college employee whose presence is necessary to the business discussion. Expenses may be incurred only for those individuals whose presence is necessary to the business discussion. These may occur either locally or during out of town travel. The College will not pay or reimburse meal expenses that lack documentation or a clear business purpose. Meetings attended solely by College employees and gatherings that are primarily social in nature do not qualify for payment or reimbursement as business meals. However, occasional meals provided as part of a College function may be permitted (see policy on College Functions below). Provision of food to gatherings of College employees on an ongoing basis is not considered to be an appropriate use of state funds. Food may however be provided at meetings of College employees on an occasional basis. For example, it may be appropriate to provide refreshments at a "working" breakfast, lunch or dinner, particularly when the employees are giving up personal time to conduct College business. A formal business discussion must be

4 the primary purpose for the gathering (see policy on College Functions below). Following are examples of business meeting where meal and refreshment expenses are allowable. Meals related to the individual recruitment of faculty or staff. When entertaining prospective employees, only meal expenses for the prospective employee and the principal individuals involved in the decision-making process will be considered allowable meal expenses. When the spouse/partner of the prospective employee is present at the meal, the College will also reimburse the meal expenses of the spouse/partner or guest of the principal individuals responsible for the recruiting. Meals or refreshments served during College sponsored meetings of advisory groups, outside reviewers, or other committees when the group is composed of both College employees and non-employees. Meals for individuals invited as academic visitors to contribute to the intellectual life of the College community. Normally, such visitors will deliver a seminar, colloquium talk, or other lecture or performance for the benefit of College faculty students and/or the community at large. Working breakfast, lunch or dinner meetings, when groups of employees are giving up personal time to conduct College business with a non-college employee whose presence is necessary to the discussion. b. College Functions, Receptions and Retreats College funds may be used to provide food at a meeting, reception, seminar, retreat, workshop, orientation, Board meeting, meetings with external stakeholders, activities involving volunteers, activities in which a majority of the participants are students or other College sponsored programs or activities. Invoices, payment requests, or procurement card receipts for these expenditures must include a brief description of the business purpose of the gathering and a list of attendees. Following are some examples of allowable functions, receptions and retreats: Annual campus-wide holiday receptions Receptions for any employee who retires or terminates from the College, providing that the employee has 15 or more years of service with the College. Receptions for faculty, staff, and students/families when the predominant numbers of those in attendance are students. Receptions to present or to acknowledge awards to faculty, staff, students, and alumni for outstanding accomplishments. Receptions to honor visitors, guests, or dignitaries.

5 Receptions for the opening of new exhibits at College facilities. Beverages and snacks provided for meetings when these meetings do not have a non- College employee present with a clear business purpose. Maximum amount allowable is $5 per person. Meals provided during team building events designed to develop a team and improve performance. These meals must be occasional in nature (no more than six times per fiscal year). Flowers may be purchased for convocation and commencement. Flowers may be purchased for speakers and other official College events, with the prior approval of President or Vice President. c. Meals and Flowers Purchased by Student Groups Food or flowers paid for by student fee funded organizations are allowable with approval of the RSO President and Treasurer. d. Meals Provided During Field Trips Meals may be purchased for field trips only if paid for with fees that have been approved for that purpose. V. Unallowable Hospitality Expenses Certain hospitality expenses are unallowable on College funds. Following are examples of unallowable expenses. a. Alcoholic beverages: The purchase or reimbursement of alcoholic beverages is not allowable with College funds. b. Departmental holiday and other social functions: Departmental functions that are considered personal are not authorized for reimbursement by the College. Expenses related to holiday receptions, luncheons, greeting cards, decorations, birthday parties, etc., are not allowable on College funds. c. Office coffee break & refreshment supplies: Supplies for coffee breaks, office refreshments, etc., are considered personal and may not be purchased with College funds.

6 d. Items of a personal nature: Expenses for items of a personal nature are unallowable on College funds. Examples include memberships in golf clubs, memberships in Outdoor Pursuits, etc. VI. Authorization and Responsibilities a. Dean, Chair, or Department Head: The Dean, Chair, or Department Head is responsible for authorizing allowable meals/events that costs $300 or less. b. Vice President: The appropriate Vice President must provide prior approval allowable meals/events that cost over $300. c. President, Vice Presidents: May approve or deny exceptions to the College hospitality and entertainment policy.
