By submitting your expense reimbursement request here, submission will be made immediately available to multiple staff members. The traveler must make the administrative staff an alternate to create the expense reimbursement on their behalf.
Alternates can create expense reimbursements on behalf of employees and non-employees and can submit expense reimbursements on behalf of non-employees and recently-terminated employees. Current employees must submit their own expense reimbursements, even if they were created by an Alternate.
Current employees are responsible for adding and deleting their own Alternates. The UW-Madison Travel Office will not assign Alternates for current employees.
