The State Comptroller’s Office has just announced a new program for payment of reimbursements to employees. Effective April 12, 2004, all employees that receive payroll funds by direct deposit will also receive their expense reimbursements by direct deposit.
Specifically, all expense vouchers that are processed through Towson’s Accounts Payable unit will be paid by direct deposit. Checks will only be issued to employees who are not signed up for direct deposit through Payroll.
The petty cash reimbursement program will remain unchanged unless you choose not to receive your reimbursement in cash. Requests for petty cash funds to be mailed will now be paid by direct deposit instead of a check. Employees who are not signed up for payroll direct deposit will still receive a check in the mail.
For more information about this new program, please link to the letter from the Comptroller of Maryland: {http://www.towson.edu/fiscalplanning/employeeexpense.doc}. Should you have any questions, please contact the Financial Services Help Line at ext. 5599, option 1 or via e-mail at {finservehelp@towson.edu}.
