Preventing Accidental Reimbursements

Be mindful when doing expense reports

Are you an Expense Approver?  Be sure that the T&E Card transactions you approve are expensed correctly to avoid reimbursements issued in error.   Accidental reimbursement requests are a common error and are time-consuming to correct, both for the user and the Expense Team.

The Expense Team recently tested an automatic notification in Workday aimed at helping prevent accidental reimbursement requests when users entered Expense Reports.  Feedback from our Expense Ambassadors and users in their area indicated that the alert was more confusing to users rather than helpful, so we have discontinued the alert.

Please be mindful as you prepare your own expense reports or those of others that you don't request reimbursement for transactions associated with T&E Cards.
