Food and Beverage Policies
Food Policy
Policy is for NECC employees only.
Food Policy
Departments are encouraged to utilize preferred catering providers (see link below). These providers offer direct invoicing and support our tax exempt status. Food purchases must not exceed available departmental or grant budget. Reimbursement shall include food and non-alcoholic beverage expenses deemed appropriate under the circumstances. Alcoholic beverage reimbursement is prohibited unless approved by the President or CFO/COO or designee. All estimated food purchases over $500 must have prior written approval from the area VP.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION FOR ALL FOOD PURCHASES:
- Travel or employee reimbursement form (if applicable)
- A receipt/invoice itemizing the meals and refreshments (non-alcoholic). A summary credit card receipt with only a total must list additional detail regarding attendees
- A list of attendees
- A brief description of the business purpose
- VP approval (purchases > $500) must be included as supporting documentation when submitting an invoice or reimbursement for payment processing. P-card food purchases must upload the VP approval to US Bank when reallocating their transactions.
If a NECC employee neglects to follow this policy, that individual may be responsible for the charges.
PREFERRED CATERING PROVIDERS:
For a list of preferred catering providers, please view Catering listed above.
BUSINESS OR GROUP MEALS (NOT ON CAMPUS):
- Business/group meals will be reimbursed at actual cost (not per diem rate).
- An employee included in the group may not submit a meal reimbursement request for the same event.
Beverage Policy
Policy is for NECC employees only.
Beverage Purchases
Any non-alcoholic beverages including bottled water should be purchased through Coca Cola.
If you have an event, meeting, etc. coming up that you will need bottled water and/or other non-alcoholic beverages (Not including coffee and milk products) you will need to plan in advance to ensure your order arrives in time. The preferred method of ordering is to submit your order using the Beverage Order Form and email it to the Director of Auxiliary Services at agagne@necc.mass.edu at least 24 hours in advance of the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month. Once orders are placed, you can expect to have the order delivered by shipping and receiving to your specified location by the following Wednesday.
In addition, a limited amount of water will be on hand in the NECC Stockroom. Please use the Office Supply Requisition form to request water. Please note: all related purchases/expenses and revenues/commissions will be charged to a central college org #.
Please contact Allison Gagne at agagne@necc.mass.edu or David McDonald at procurement@necc.mass.edu with any questions.
