Pepperdine University will reimburse employees for out-of-pocket expenses incurred during the execution of University business.

Reimbursement requests are made with Expense Reports through the Travel and Expense Center in PeopleSoft Financials. It is the responsibility of the employee who incurred the expense to collect and organize the appropriate original receipts, and give them to the designated departmental Travel & Expense requestor in a timely manner.
University Employee Reimbursements Policies
Reimbursements must be substantiated within 60 days after incurring expense. All expenses must be pre-approved by supervisor or budget manager before the expense is incurred. Receipts submitted after 120 days will be denied for reimbursement, unless a satisfactory explanation as to the delay of submission is established, or supervisor approves of the expense and the employee is given a warning that they will not receive a reimbursement for expenses over 120 days in the future. Reimbursements made after 120 days, will be considered taxable to the employee and the department is charged additional expense for grossing up the payment to the employee.
