Official Function Form
An Official Function Form (OFF) must be approved and signed prior to making a purchase.
Below are guidelines on whether the form is needed or not.
-
Non-Employee social functions do NOT need an OFF
-
UW Employee social functions need an OFF
-
If you are on the fence just get the form to be safe
-
Retreat/Team Building/Morale = Need an OFF
-
OFF needs to be signed BEFORE ANY MONEY IS SPENT for the event
-
If an event is for both employee and non-employees but there is more non-employees no OFF is needed
-
-We should provide detailed business purposes that include who the event is for, non employee vs employee, to help determine to Audit if a form was needed
-
The OFF can be used for any expense related to the event that would need the OFF
