Reimbursments - Year End

In these financially turbulent times, you've got Synergy Racing on your side! We won't be lending you money but we will be reimbursing your race fees.

Here are a few things to remember when submitting reimbursement requests:

1) Please be patient. I won't reimburse you if you have just one receipt. In most cases, I'm assuming that you may have more on the way. This makes for less accounting at the end of the year.

2) Please have receipts. We simply cannot reimburse without them. We're accountable to the AGLC for every cent we spend. "I didn't get a receipt!"
If the organizer did not issue you one, you have to get out there and make your own and ask him/her to sign and date it. Printing out your results will also help.

3) Do not put tape on those new-fangled thermal paper receipts as the printing will be destroyed rendering them unusuable. Use some glue instead and please, for the love of Peter, be neat.

4) Put it in the mail! Snail mail, that is! Please don't make me do the job of printing out your receipts. I don't have a printer. Send it to the team post office box and Reid or I will collect it within a few weeks. Otherwise, bring what you have to the AGM (mid-November).

Scenario:
You're a junior and you submitted receipts for travel, etc. and an unrelated race fee. I will pay you for the largest sum and wait for more race receipts before reimbursing for the other, unrelated race. This helps in the accounting process as well.

Green Mountain Stage Racers (Graeme, Caeli):
I just received an ABA invoice for the rider's portion of the trip. Is there anything else? Do you have the receipts?

Did you know?
Keep in mind that our rivals, Bicisport, reimburse once only at the end of the year!

Yours on cash corner,
cp
