Remember to submit your Expense Report within 120 days

Submitting your Expense Report within 120 days.

March 26, 2021
What is it?

Employees are expected to submit Expense Reports within 120 days from the trip end date for Travel Expenses or the date a business expense is incurred for Business Expenses. If the Report is submitted after 120 days, you must provide justification comments to describe the circumstances leading to the late submission. If the circumstances described would not have prevented the employee from submitting within the required timeframe, expenses submitted after 120 days may be considered taxable income. View the Business Expense Policy and the Concur Expense Policy Exception Approval Workflow Requirements job aid for more details.
