Petty Cash Reimbursement - Effective immediately the University will no longer reimburse employees for business expenses through petty cash in an effort to streamline our processes and remain safe.  All reimbursements, regardless of the purpose or dollar amount, must be submitted through Workday as an Expense Report.  Once you select your payment elections you will receive your reimbursement via direct deposit.   Any employee with a Lynn University issued the JPMC  VISA Travel &Expense card should use their corporate credit card as the method of payment for business related expense such as food, travel, hotel,  car rental, etc. If you have any questions about the elimination of petty cash reimbursements, please contact the Procurement Department.
