G/L ACCOUNTS
62XXXX: Professional Services and Other Payments
I. GENERAL
These G/L accounts are to be used for payments for services rendered
by individuals who are not employees of Duke,
and other payments to individuals for special situations identified
in this procedure. Employees of Duke can not be paid using these
G/L accounts (except G/L account 622500, Experimental Subjects)
- a 60xxxx, Payroll Costs salary G/L
account must be used. These payments do not entitle the recipient
to any of Duke's fringe benefits.
Most payments charged to these G/L accounts are considered reportable
income and the appropriate IRS tax forms will be issued to the
recipient at year-end.
This G/L account is used for stipends paid to individuals who are participating in programs to gain experience/training in their field. Examples: Pew Foundation Summer Internship, Duke Marine Lab Summer programs for high school teachers. Only use this G/L account for individuals not currently enrolled in classes at Duke. For individuals who are currently taking classes at Duke, use the appropriate Fellowship/Scholarship G/L account in the 63**** series.
