How do I get reimbursed for work-related expenses?

If you wish to recieve reimbursement for any work-related expenses, please use this procedure:

1. Download the current University Travel And Business Expense Report (TABER) from the University Human Resources site. (Click on Get A Form and look in the "T" section.)
2. Complete the form, attach your receipts, and sign.
3. Bring it to the GSE's Office of Administration & Personnel within 60 days of incurring the expense. (If your TABER is forwarded for reimbursement within 60 days, it must include a note of explanation signed by the Dean.)

To ensure a timely and complete reimbursement, your TABER form must include detailed receipts. Incomplete or incorrect TABERs will be returned to you by the University, so be sure to keep the following in mind:

• For meals:
  • The receipt must show each item ordered and alcohol must be deducted from the total.
  • Meals with other people must include the individuals' names on the receipt along with an explanation of the business purpose.
  • If you charge a meal to your hotel room, you are still required to attach a detailed receipt for the meal.
    
• For hotels & conferences:
  • If you are being reimbursed for presenting at a conference, you must include a copy of the program with your name highlighted.
  • Hotel bills must show a zero balance and method of payment.
    
• If you cannot provide detailed receipts, you must:
  • Complete a Lost Receipt Form.
  • State that no alcohol was purchased.
  • Sign the form.

Your Department administrator or the Office of Administration & Personnel can obtain these forms for you if you cannot download them.

Questions about completing your TABER may be referred directly to the GSE's Business Manager, Dayle Bartell.
