The expansion of Concur in March 2014 to include nontravel reimbursements eliminated approximately 90 percent of paper employee reimbursement requests. As a result of this success, the university is planning to discontinue the paper check request process for employee reimbursements, effective Jan. 1, 2015.
Starting Jan. 1, all employee reimbursements will be done through Concur. Any paper employee reimbursement requests received after Jan. 5 will be returned to the originating departments with instructions to resubmit through Concur. Please note that the university’s paper check request forms still will be used for payments to trial subjects and third parties.
“We have added additional budget accounts in the Concur module, giving our end-users the ability to include both nontravel and travel expenses on the same report,” said Tiffany Gregory, Disbursements supervisor in Finance. “[rquote]With this change, Concur can handle all employee reimbursements.”[/rquote]
Online training for Concur travel and expense reimbursement is available on the Disbursement Services website. Email questions about the Concur expense reporting process to concurexpense@vanderbilt.edu.
