Procurement Card (PCard) Usage

J-PAL Procurement Card (otherwise known as the PCard):

A credit card issued to an MIT employee for the purpose of making authorized small-dollar purchases on behalf of the Institute. As a result of recent changes in MIT financial policies, use of the J-PAL PCards will be more restricted and only used for specific charges moving forward. Please see the division of labor below:

1. Audrey Cabral’s PCard: HR/recruitment related purchases, including job postings

2. Lesley Harkins's PCard: purchases for events

3. Haley Packard’s PCard: All other purchases, including some supplies, memberships, and recurring purchases, please see the General Office Supplies page for information on how to request a purchase.

MIT has an extensive list of purchases that are unallowable on PCards, including alcohol, furniture, and greeting cards.
