Update on TAR for Vicinity Travel:
Employees who are injured during vicinity travel will be required to provide a memorandum from their supervisor stating that they were on approved, university business. This memorandum will be sufficient in filing a worker's compensation claim. A TAR is not required. Memorandums will only be required in these unfortunate exception instances.

Effective Saturday, March 14, 1998 all employee reimbursement transactions input into departmental SAMAS will be paid by EFT rather than a State warrant if the following criteria are met:

The employee is currently participating in the EFT program for salary payments

Social Security number and last name in the employee vendor file match the same information in the agency's W-4 file, (W-4 information is printed on the earnings statement)

The payment is not a Class C meal allowance (at the present time, Class C meal allowances will not be paid by EFT).

The payment is not from a local account. Only E&G, Auxiliary, and Sponsored Research funds will be affected.

Direct deposit notifications will be mailed to the employees’ home address listed in the payroll system.

All employee reimbursements other than Class C meal allowance will be paid by EFT
if the above criteria are met. Employee reimbursement payments will be deposited to the same bank account that salary payments are deposited into. Employee reimbursements cannot be deposited to separate bank accounts.

In an effort to expedite the reimbursement of travel expenses, the Controller's Office is streamlining processes. Effective April 1, 1998, the following changes will be made:

Blanket TAR's for Vicinity travel will no longer be required.

Reimbursement for vicinity travel not exceeding $ 100.00 will only be processed once a quarter. The reimbursement vouchers for this type of travel will be accepted during the first two weeks of September, December, March, and June.

Travel reimbursement checks and/or direct deposit notifications will be mailed to the employee's home. Please make sure that the Payroll department always has your current home address.

New pre-numbered TAR forms have been ordered. Please begin using these forms immediately. You may obtain a supply of these forms at the Controller's Office.

Other changes to travel procedures will be announced upon completion of the bid process for travel agency services.
