  • Signatures that are scanned and sent are preferable, but in the event that is not possible A/P will accept an email that specifies (what company, invoice number and amount, account number to charge, as well as stating it is approved for payment) and use that as my approval/requisition. The key is that the email needs to specify which invoice/expense report is being approved.

OR

Submit electronically for Mequon/Online/Centers to sarah.gartman@cuw.edu or Ann Arbor can send to Barb.Walther@cuaa.edu.

Must still be appropriately “signed”, but we do not require the wet signature

  • Option 1: Full signed, just scan/send picture and submit via email
  • Option 2: Electronically sign PDF and submit via email
  • Option 3 (“worst case scenario”): Forward emailed supervisor approval along with unsigned requisition. (Please only do this if you cannot for some reason get the PDF signed. I will print the
    emails with the reqs for auditing purposes) Email must have some linking
    information, (Example “$350.00, approved for INSERT NAME for invoice dated 3/23/30” with SUPERVISOR electronic signature.)

Thank you for your cooperation and patience during this time.

Blessings,
Kim Masenthin
Director of Human Resources
