Employee Non-Cash Gifts and Awards

Gift Cards, Giveaways and Opportunity Drawings exceeding $75 in a calendar year needs to be reported.  It is up to each department to track this data and provide to your fiscal contact.

Any non-cash gifts over $75 received between January 1 - December 31 must be included in the employee's earning statement.  If the employees receive anything in November/December you will need to let your fiscal contact know as soon as possible as we will need to coordinate with UCPath for additional handling of the file to ensure it will be reflected on the W-2. 

Information Needed:

  • Employee ID
  • Employee Record
  • Position Number
  • Full Gift Card Amount exceeding $75

Note: Student Government areas please provide the information on the Google Sheet in the respective Google Drive.
