Campuswide e-reimbursement implementation in progress

The e-reimbursement system is a collection of expense reimbursement tools that offers a simplified, consistent method to prepare the travel authorization/cash advance and/or expense report. Some of the benefits to using the system include:

• Self-service online access
• Approved reimbursements within three to five business days
• Payment via direct deposit
• Use of the My Corporate Card eliminates out-of-pocket costs
• Online expense-report tracking
• Provides robust reporting tools

The e-reimbursement system has offered UW–Madison an opportunity to embrace change on a grand scale. The new Web-based, electronic and essentially self-service system will replace the paper TER. Responses about the new e-reimbursement system have been favorable, and negative reactions are overcome as users become accustomed to workflow and e-mail notification, understand how the system imports funding information, and use the system as intended. The system streamlines expense type entry, provides powerful reporting functionality, and saves all past expense reimbursement history for easy lookup.

The implementation of the e-reimbursement system was divided into three phases, and Phase Ⅲ is well under way. Completion of the implementation is planned for the end of June, which will correspond to the end of the current fiscal year. Learn more at Travel and Expense Reimbursement.
