Employees request expense reimbursement through Employee Access and the reimbursements will be deposited directly into each employee’s direct deposit bank account used in payroll.

Note: Each employee must submit his/her own expense reimbursement.  An assistant cannot submit a reimbursement on behalf of another employee

Important: This process is for reimbursement from budget accounts.  If a staff member needs reimbursement from an activity account, instead the activity sponsor must enter a check request to write a check for the employee needing reimbursement.
