Concur Online Booking Tool Travel Request
Condense Spending and Reduce Costs Travel Request is designed to help businesses manage travel more effectively. Once an employee starts to plan a trip, managers and approvers can approve, reject and request modifications during the process. Gain visibility into flights, car rentals, hotel rooms, rail and other expenses. This gives you greater insight into pre-planned and actual expenses, allowing for more accurate forecasts of travel costs.
Optimize Booking Integration When integrated with Concur's Travel solution, employee-entered travel requests are sent for approvals. Employees can use Concur's travel booking solutions to automatically create a travel request. Meanwhile, agencies can book travel for employees based on notification after approvals.
Improve Control and EfficiencyThanks to a greater level of pre-trip control and approval, unnecessary and wasteful travel is eliminated. You'll also be able to ensure more reliable travel policy compliance. Altogether, Travel Request helps keep your management process efficient and organized. Talk about serenity.

Revised Travel Guidelines
Submitting Invoices for Processing
• [email protected]• Subject line should include Vendor Name,
PO number, Invoice number• Additional instructions for processing
should be included in the body of the email.
Payroll Update
• ELIMINATING HOURLY SUPPLEMENTAL PAYROLLS AND EXTENDING DEADLINES
More Processing Time
Effective January 2013
Additional 5 business days added to deadline for processing time for hourly paid employees.
No more hourly supplemental pay, hourly employees will be paid on regular payroll.
Supplemental payroll will be moved to the 3rd business day following the regular pay date – will allow direct deposit of pay.
Why make these changes?
• Increased efficiency and cost savings across the System
• Departmental timekeepers will have more time to process timesheets.
• Departments will have a limited number of paper checks to distribute on supplemental pay dates.
• Most employees will be paid on regular pay dates.• In most cases, hourly paid employees will receive
payment on one check for time worked for a given period.
