Procedure

All employee reimbursements for mileage, travel and other reimbursements (under the category employee reimbursements) will be made through the payroll system.

• If you have direct deposit, these reimbursements will be deposited into your bank account along with your paycheck.
• If you do not have direct deposit, you will see your reimbursement on your biweekly paycheck.
• All reimbursement requests must still comply with City policies and procedures and have all supporting documentation attached.
• Present your reimbursement information and documentation to your department's accounting staff.
• When you can expect reimbursement will depend on the time you submit your paperwork.

Please note that reimbursements are entered into the COMET system during time entry week, which is the week after your regular payday.

If you have any questions regarding employee reimbursements on the payroll system, please contact Central Payroll.  Ask for the employee currently in charge of employee reimbursements.
