UPDATE - Paying participants that who are employee's of UT:
Participants who are UT employees may now be compensated with either cash or gift cards. Compensation in the form of electronic gift cards should only be used when participants will be taking part in a study from a location that is not on campus. Participants that are UT employees need to sign an "Individual Receipt Form" and must not sign the Multiple Participant Receipt Form.
TangoCard:
UT Austin allows for paying research participants, including UT employees, via TangoCard, an electronic gift card service provider. Participants receive an email notifying them that they have an electronic gift card to claim in the amount designated by the PI / study coordinator. Read more about compensating participants with TangoCard here, and read about the COE Tango Procedures here.
