Please contact GAD by submitting a ticket in Service Now to fin-working-fund.
Working funds should be used for nominal purchases only in cases of emergency and where use of a corporate purchasing card (CPC) is not feasible. Emergency temporary salary advances (60% net pay) and travel advances may be paid.
Salary advances shall follow Central Payroll Bureau guidelines and will not be reimbursed by GAD. Forms may be found here: https://www.marylandtaxes.gov/statepayroll/payroll-officers.php under "Salary Advance Recovery."
The following types of payments are NOT permitted:
- Payments to vendors may not flow through working fund accounts as the data is not collected for 1099s and the working fund disbursement issuance bypasses the State's liability offset process.
- Food purchases for normal staff type meetings or social functions.
- Parking fees or other driving violations of employees.
- Supplies for employee kitchen area.
- Payment of vendors to avoid the Late Payment Reports.
We recommend that Working Fund accounts be reconciled on a monthly basis. GAD is required to review Working Fund accounts on an annual basis. A yearly Working Fund reconciliation shall be sent to GAD soon after the end of each calendar year, 12/31/XX.
