Expense policies
Please make sure you type your full name and not just an initial. For example ‘John Smith’ instead of ‘J Smith’.
This policy ensures that all invoices received or issued by ESA.NE are handled in a consistent, transparent, and timely manner. It aims to prevent errors, ensure proper authorization, and maintain clear financial records. 

This policy applies to: 
  • All invoices received by ESA.NE
  • All invoices issued by ESA.NE e.g. when charging for events or services.
  • All members involved in financial management or approval of payments.

Invoicing us:
All invoices must fill out the details requested by our fiscal host The Social Change Nest, such as:
  • Your name and contact information.
  • If your name is different from your legal name and then only your name and NOT your legal name will be displayed publicly. Only the Collective admins and The Social Change Nest will be able to see your legal name. 
  • Description of goods or services provided.
  • Total amount due and payment details - usually to a bank account. If you cannot access a bank account for whatever reason and then please email us and we can explore what options may be available to you.

Some examples of invoices that we can approve:

  • Payment for facilitating events. 
  • Payment for transport to and from events.
  • Payment for materials. 
  • Payment for participating in events e.g. as speakers. 
  • Payment for refreshments. 
  • Mutual Aid (see below).
  • Venue costs. 
  • Costs of labour. 
  • Payment/subsidising costs for training that can support ESA.NE community events. 
  • Any payment that is necessary to support the day-to-day organising of and future of our community group. 

Any other payments are up to the discretion of the ESA.NE admins of this Open Collective and decisions about this will be made collectively. 

To expense us for a cost you must create an invoice or submit an expense to us as a reimbursement. 

If you are a community member who is requesting money for participating in an ESA.NE event, a receipt is not compulsory if you invoice us, but if you submit this as a reimbursement, the website will ask you for a receipt. 

If you are someone who is requesting costs for labour, we will require an invoice and breakdown of costs as well as any receipts where necessary.  

Processing Invoices:
All invoices must be checked to ensure that:
  • The goods or services were received as described.
  • The charges match agreed prices.
  • The invoice includes all required details.

When an invoice is submitted to us, an admin will review this, and either approve or reject the invoice. Once approved by us, the invoice will be reviewed by The Social Change Nest before being paid out; this process can take some time and it means that payments are unlikely to be made on the day of submission.

Any disputes or discrepancies must be raised immediately before payment.

Payment:
Payments will normally be made within 30 days of receiving a valid invoice, and subject to available funds. Payments will usually be made to a bank account, and where an admin or community member invoices us on behalf of someone else, admins must ask for evidence such as receipts or screenshots and 2 admins must be involved in approving this.

Issuing Invoices:
If ESA.NE is charging for events, services, and more: 
  • Invoices must include ESA.NE, contact details, and bank information. 
  • Invoices should be sent within 10 working days of the labour done. 
  • Copies of all invoices issued must be saved in ESA.NE's financial history.

Record Keeping:
All details of our invoices/transactions are available on our Open Collective; this helps us to ensure transparency and accountability to our community.

Review and Oversight:
ESA.NE will review financial records, including invoices on a quarterly basis. 
This policy will be reviewed every two years, and when there are changes to our community's financial practices.
