Announcements: SEVIS Fee REimbursement
NOTICE: 3/30/09 SEVIS Fee Reimbursement
Consistent with Article 10: ‘Salaries’, Section E. ‘SEVIS Fee Reimbursement’ of the 2008-2011 collective bargaining agreement between the Graduate Employees’ Organization and the University of Michigan, the University will reimburse the SEVIS fee paid by new GSI’s or GSSA’s, upon their request to their appointing unit.
Since this provision entered the contract in 2005, academic units have used a variety of processes to accomplish the reimbursement of new employees who have requested it. Questions about the best way to do this though, continue to be asked frequently. On consultation with the Payroll Office, Academic HR has been informed that the preferred method for accomplishing this task is through use of “NON PURCHASE ORDER PAYMENTS” (Non-PO vouchers).
Information about the use of ‘Non-PO vouchers’ can be found at: www.procurement.umich.edu/nonpurchaseorderpayments.html or by contacting Procurement Services Customer Service Team at 734-764-8212, option 1, or email procurement.services@umich.edu.
