Budgeting in OnCore

The associated fees for using Participant Payments have been added to the OnCore ChargeSource to facilitate the budgeting and negotiation with the sponsor, if applicable, to accommodate these fees. They have been included as Items to the following procedures:

  • SUBJECT STIPEND (Procedure)
  • SUBJECT COMPENSATION (Budget Procedure)
  • Travel Reimbursement (Budget Procedure)

As it will be unknown at the time of budget development and negotiation how many participants may opt for the checking account versus debit card option, it recommended budget for the most expensive fee transaction: Debit card + Debit card transaction fee. Another budget consideration to take into account for additional fees for lost and replaced debit cards.
