The Appropriations Act requires employees who travel more than twice each year to be reimbursed electronically. This mandate is an integral part of the statewide effort to reduce administrative costs. To assure full compliance with this law, all employees must sign up for direct deposit of business-related reimbursements.

Departmental Petty Cash/Change Funds
Since departmental petty cash reimbursements to a petty cash custodian are not personal in nature, reimbursements for departmental petty cash will continue to be done via a check issued to the custodian or as a deposit to the appropriate bank account in the case of departments with petty cash bank accounts. Departmental change funds receive a check for reimbursement.
