New Business Expense Reimbursement Requirement

As of April 1, in order to be reimbursed, UMB employees must submit requests for reimbursement of business expenses within six months of when they were incurred – or earlier, depending on the UMB school.  This applies to expenses such as phone bills, meals, membership dues, etc.
