Changes to staff expenses claims

From Monday 1 August all claims for business expenses must be submitted through the staff portal - Core HR.

Any paper forms received on or after 1 August 2016 will be returned to the member of staff named on the form.

Full details of how to create expense reports on Core can be found at Pay and Pensions under ‘Expenses Guide’ and the Finance Office recommends that new users familiarise themselves with this document before attempting to use the system.

Details of the University’s Expenses Policy can also be found at Pay & Pensionsunder ‘Expenses Procedures’. It is expected that all staff, claimants and approvers, familiarise themselves with the content of the policy.

Further assistance

Should any School, Institute or College require assistance in the switch over to the Core expenses system they should contact either Jim Ross (ext. 5922) or Jolene Dauth (ext. 6514) to arrange a demonstration or provide any other assistance.
