2. Set Up a Travel Alternate in e-Reimbursement

An alternate is able to create expense reimbursements on your behalf, which are then submitted to you for final approval. For your relocation reimbursement, your alternate may be someone who will book travel and create expense reports for you in the future, or it may be an accountant in your division. Maggie will send you instructions including who to set up as an alternate.

1. Sign into e-Reimbursement.
2. Click the Expenses WorkCenter tile.
3. Click the Delegate Entry Authority link in the links panel along the left side.
4. Click the plus sign to add an additional row.
5. Enter the Alternate’s employee ID number in the Authorized User ID field. If you do not know the employee ID, click the magnifying glass next to the blank field, then click on Advanced Lookup.  Enter the Alternate’s last name in the Description field.  Locate the alternate and click on their name.
6. The Authorization Level should be “Edit”. If an employee chooses “Edit & Submit”, it will revert to “Edit”.
7. Click Save.

3. Finalize and Submit Relocation Stipend e-Reimbursement

Your alternate will create the expense report for your relocation stipend amount, minus 30% tax withholding. This is an estimated tax withholding amount - your paycheck will adjust accordingly to your actual tax withholding rate when the stipend is reported on your paystub.

When the expense report is ready for your review, your alternate will email you that you can now go in and submit the final report -

1. Sign into e-Reimbursement.
2. Click the Expenses tile, then My Expense Reports.
3. Use the panel on the left to navigate to: Not Submitted – Expense Reimbursements which have been created but not yet submitted.
4. Click the Report ID to view details of a specific Expense Reimbursement.
5. Use the navigation buttons in the top bar to review and submit your report.
