 Subject: MASSMAIL - Direct Deposit for Reimbursements Effective Nov. 1

The Office of Business and Financial Services has revised the employee 
expense reimbursement process in response to requests from employees and 
campus units. Beginning November 1, 2005, all employees that receive 
payroll funds by direct deposit, or use a Paychek Plus!TM payroll debit 
card, will also receive their travel and miscellaneous expense 
reimbursements, and travel or program advances, by direct deposit. Checks 
will be issued only to employees who are not signed up for direct deposit 
through payroll or that do not have a Paychek Plus!TM card.
 
In addition, to comply with an audit requirement, the walk-through option 
for cash payment of employee reimbursements and advances will be 
discontinued effective November 1, 2005. You may submit your approved 
Travel/Employee Expense Reimbursement form or Invoice Voucher and 
Travel/Program Advance form in person or by campus mail to the office of 
University Payables at 506 S. Wright, MC-345 (may be dropped off in Room 
124).
 
If you already have payroll direct deposit, you will benefit from the 
convenience of having your reimbursements and advances deposited directly 
into your bank account instead of waiting for a check in the mail.  
Reimbursement funds will transfer within five (5) business days from the 
day the voucher is received and approved by University Payables.  You will 
be informed of the direct deposit of the reimbursement or advance via an e-
mail notification sent to your University e-mail account.
 
If you have not yet enrolled in the payroll direct deposit program and 
wish to sign up, please refer to the Direct Deposit Guide for your campus, 
at: http://www.obfs.uillinois.edu/earnings/paycheckplusU.pdf
