Remember to update your AP Reimbursement using PAC Self-Service

What is it?

You can view and update the method for how you receive Accounts Payable (AP) Reimbursements for travel and business expenses.

Your AP Reimbursement method is related to your Direct Deposit settings for Payroll with one of the following defaults, which you can change as desired:

• If your Payroll is not setup with Direct Deposit, your AP Reimbursement defaults so you are paid by check.
• If your Payroll is set up with a single Direct Deposit account, your AP Reimbursement defaults so that you are paid using the same Direct Deposit account.
• If your Payroll is set up with multiple Direct Deposit accounts, your AP Reimbursement defaults so you are paid using the method marked as “Remaining Balance” in the Direct Deposit module.

Refer to the Updating Your AP Reimbursement Method in PAC job aid for detailed instructions.
