Reimbursement

The Employee Expense - Non-Travel expense report in Concur is used for payments made directly to an employee when a purchase order is not required per CSU Policy guidelines for Contracting & Procurement. The preferred method of payment for these types of transactions is the use of a University issued Procurement card (Procard). The University does not like for employees to be out-of-pocket waiting to be reimbursed. Use of the Procard is a true cost savings for the University.

Note: Due to tax reporting, individuals may not pay for services and in return seek reimbursement for those services from the University.

Requirements

Employees will have to create the expense report under their Concur profile. Approval from department approving official (DOA360) to update approving officials use the CFS Finance System Access (CARS) Request form.

Note: All requests must have the following attached before payment will be rendered:

  • Invoice or itemized receipts showing the details of what was purchased and that payment has been made
  • Proof of payment is required such as a cancelled check, bank statement, or credit card statement (please redact confidential personal data)
