In order to streamline processing, the payment method for travel and expense reimbursement is being changed to direct deposit for all employees still receiving paper checks. The Disbursement Center Travel Team and our Technical Support Team have been working diligently on this project. Eeffective May 19, 2021.

Benefits include: 

• No trip to the bank to deposit the check.
• No more misplaced checks.
• No checks lost in the mail.
• No wondering when and where was the check was sent.
• No problem if one is at a temporary work location, etc. 
• No more time waiting on the void and reissue process for a lost check.
• This process will use the balance or last account on your payroll profile.

In addition to better supporting our employees, the University will benefit by becoming greener, save on check stock and postage costs, and reduce abandoned property work (uncashed checks) to comply with Vermont state law.

To return to paper check, you can follow the instructions in the Direct Deposit User Guide (PDF) (see page 4) or watch a video demo.
