• Gratuities: The following are some guidelines: Meals: 15% - 20% of the bill, unless a gratuity or
service charge is included in the bill. The meal gratuity must be reported as part of the meal
allowance, subject to the meal reimbursement thresholds. Taxi/Car Service: 15% of the bill.

• Accommodations: Reimbursement is generally limited to the amounts set forth for the applicable
city in the U.S. GSA publication linked below. The per-night lodging amounts shown exclude taxes,
which are reimbursable. These rates ranged from $70 - $360 per night and varied based on
destination. http://www.gsa.gov/perdiem

• Only single-room rates will be reimbursed. An itemized hotel receipt/folio must be submitted with
the employee’s expenses receipts for reimbursement. The receipt should show separately: room
rate, all applicable taxes, meals/room service, additional charges (e.g., phone calls, internet fees,
in-room movie). Refer to section XI, item T., “Non-Reimbursable Expenses”. Hotel room
cancellation charges are the responsibility of the traveler.

• Airport Parking: When parking at the Pittsburgh International Airport, reimbursement is limited to
the current daily Long-Term parking rate. Use of extended parking or offsite parking (Charlie
Brown or Global Aiport Parking), if less expensive, is encouraged to contain costs. Additionally, it
may also be more cost effective and convenient if the total travel period is > 7 days to consider a
UPMC approved car service for pickup and drop-off at the airport in lieu of paying for parking.

• Receipts: Receipts must be submitted to me within two weeks of the expense being
incurred. Expense submissions that are received in accounts payable more than 90 days
after the travel occurred will not be processed. In keeping with IRS regulations, employees
must document the business purpose of the expense and have documentary evidence, such as
original receipts, canceled checks, bills, for any and all meals, hotel stays, automobile rentals,
parking, tolls and other expenses. A credit card statement alone is not acceptable documentary
evidence. Documentary evidence will be considered adequate to meet IRS requirements if it shows
the amount, date, location, and nature of the expense.

Text Book/Educational Materials Ordering Procedure:

*You cannot use your funds to purchase electronic equipment (computers, laptops, smart phones and/or
tablets).

All residents receive a $250 annual book allowance. Unused funds carry over to the next academic year
but must be used by the last day of your training. Residents must purchase all educational materials
themselves and be reimbursed (see reimbursement procedure below). You may purchase textbooks, e-
books, and other educational materials, via the internet, retail stores, or at the Pitt Book Center.
Expenses for smartphones, tablets, laptops and computers are not reimbursable. Educational items
purchased at the Pitt Book Center are given a UPMC discount and are not charged Allegheny County
sales tax (7%).

To place an order at the University of Pittsburgh Book Center (discount rates, not tax):
412-648-1455
Fax 412-648-1902

You will need to supply them with the title of the book, the author(s), and if possible the publisher. You will
need to pay for your order and then get reimbursed for your expense.
They can send the book(s) to you via campus mail or you can pick them up. If you prefer, you can visit
the book center in person to purchase books – 4000 Fifth Avenue. To purchase an ACOG publication
(Precis, Prolog, Compendium, etc.), you will need to also provide the book store with your ACOG Junior
Fellow membership number. Please note that you will not receive the 10% discount on any ACOG
publications and will need to pay shipping.

Procedure to Receive Reimbursement for Expenses:

1. Authorize both Diana Brucha and Michele (Missy) Nix as an authorized user in MyHUB:
Go to MyHUB  Supply Chain  My Expenses  Authorize User  + NIXM201147 and
BRUCHADL88  Save

2. Submit your receipt to Missy Nix within 14 days of purchase. Please note, that the 14 days
is a UPMC policy and no exceptions can be made:

https://infonet.upmc.com/UPMCPolicies/_layouts/15/WopiFrame.aspx?sourcedoc=/UPMCPolicies/SYSPolicyDocumen
ts/HSAC0500.pdf&action=default

You will be able to determine your current balance at any time. Missy will maintain an Excel spreadsheet
with your starting balance and purchases. The spreadsheet will be available to you in your files/folder in
MedHub. She will update this each time you submit a receipt.

McDevitt Garage Parking for Ob/Gyn Resident

UPMC residents in the Obstetrics and Gynecology training program at Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC are assigned
parking in the McDevitt Parking Garage. The garage is located approximately one-block from the hospital. The cost of
parking for Ob/Gyn residents is supplemented by the hospital. Residents pay a discounted rate of $61.25/month (October
2019). The rate is subject to change. While on night rotations, you can park at the Magee visitors’ lot. Your ID badge will
permit entrance into the visitors’ lot only between the hours of 2:30 pm to 4:00 am but you must exit by 9:00 am. After
9:00 am, your badge will not work.

Driving Directions to Garage: You will need your ID badge to enter and exit the garage. You must physically place your
badge onto the reader to activate the gate. The entrance to the garage is from McDevitt Place. McDevitt is a two-way
street. If using a GPS, enter McDevitt Place at Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213:

• From Forbes Avenue: Make a right onto McDevitt. The entrance to the garage will be immediately to the
left.

• From the Boulevard of the Allies (towards downtown): Go past Magee. The Hampton Inn is in the next
block on the right. You will need to make a right onto McDevitt Place at the traffic island (this is right
beside the Hampton Inn). Slow down or you will miss the turn! The entrance to the garage is on the right
toward the end of the road.

• From the Boulevard of the Allies (from town): Take the Forbes Avenue exit and merge onto Forbes
Avenue. You will need to then immediately merge to the right lane. Make a right onto McDevitt. The
entrance to the garage will be immediately to your left.

Frequently Asked Parking Questions – for staff parking

June 29th, 2016

1. Where can I park with my lease?

 Between 9 AM to 2:30 PM you are to park ONLY in the lot where you have a lease. If your lot is full, you must check in
with the parking attendants in the main drive BEFORE parking in the patient visitor garage.

 If you do not have your badge for the day, you must park at the 2nd Avenue lot. If you choose to park in the Patient/Visitor
Garage, you must pay the $20.00 daily rate and will be issued a violation warning.

 During evenings and/or all day on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, you are permitted to park in the Patient/Visitor Garage.
Evenings are classified as shifts that begin at 3:00 PM or later. You MUST exit the garage before 9 AM on weekdays. If
circumstances require you to exit after 9AM, you will have to report to the parking office to have your badge reset.

 Parking in an area other than where you have a lease, or in the Patient/Visitor Garage during an inappropriate time period
is considered “theft of services”. Any staff member found to be using, or to have participated in or facilitated the
fraudulent use of a parking option will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

2. How do I cancel or suspend my parking lease?
You must obtain a Cancellation/Suspension Form from the Parking Office-Room 2113. The form must be filled out in its entirety
and turned in with your hangtag. If you fail to turn in a cancellation form or return an incomplete form, your parking cannot be
cancelled, and you will continue to be charged monthly. If you do not return your hangtag, there will be a $15.00 fee charged
against your pay.

3. If I am handicapped, where do I park?
 There are marked handicapped spots at the McDevitt Garage, 3380 Lot; 2nd Avenue lot, and behind the hospital along the
fence that borders the Boulevard of the Allies. You must have a current lease, and a state issued Handicap Placard or
license plate in order to park in these spots. You will be charged the normal rate for each lot.
 If you become temporarily handicapped, every effort will be made to allow you to park as close to the hospital as possible,
however, we can’t guarantee a specific space. In order for you to qualify for a temporary handicap space, you must have
a current lease, and submit to the parking office a written doctor’s excuse, with a definite date that your disability will
end. You will be permitted to park in one of the handicapped parking areas for that time period only. This time period
will not exceed 3 months. You will also be required to submit a form to Work Partners.

If you have any further questions, please call the Parking Office at 641-4904.
