How do I pay staff stipends?
FOR EACH PAYROLL DEADLINE, SUBMIT THE FOLLOWING:
Sign-in/Time Sheets
Print or simply make a copy of this standardized sign-in/time sheet template - either use one sheet per employee or at least group an employee's hours together
Before/After School staff needs to physically record their time in/out and sign the sheet
Once the sign-in/time sheet is completed, either the School Leader or the Before/After School Lead needs to sign and date at the bottom.
Scan and email completed sign-in/time sheets to Nicole Mendoza
Payroll Spreadsheet
Make a copy of your school's unique UPDATED payroll template, which you'll find in your school's individual folder (if you need the link to your folder, please reach out to Nicole Mendoza)
Email a copy of your completed payroll spreadsheet to Nicole Mendoza
As an FYI, if your school's sign-in/time sheet is not signed and dated and/or the hours don't match between the sign-in/time sheet and the payroll spreadsheet, it will be sent back to be corrected.
How do I make purchases with these funds?
To make a purchase out of your school’s before/after school program account:
Confirm the company/venue is already an approved City Vendor by looking them up in BAIS Financials or determine if the individual needs to be "hired" and paid through the City's payroll system.
If you have a question about whether a company/venue is an approved City Vendor or should be hired, please email Vendor.Questions@cityofboston.gov or call 617-635-4564
New vendors should register online (see step-by-step guidelines for registering online).
Enter a requisition for before/after school programs using the following information:
Fund Number: 475

Program: BASP
Class: 0000

Follow the standard purchasing guidelines outlined in the purchasing manual to complete the requisition and purchase process.
How do I reimburse staff with these funds?
