Employee Self Serve Banking for Expense Reimbursements – FAQs

The process by which faculty, instructors and staff make changes to their banking information for payroll deposits and expense reimbursements through HR Self Serve.

This change eliminates a separate manual form, reduces administrative effort resulting in simpler and faster expense reimbursements.  It allows for the convenience and benefit of updating banking information for payroll deposits and expense reimbursements in a single process, and transferring that information provided securely and electronically on a nightly basis to the Finance system.  Employees will no longer be required to transmit their banking information by email, but rather  in a secure manner, through HR Self Serve which is accessed using their Passport York login credentials.  The elimination of manual forms reduces the risk of error and reduces the time required to update banking information in the Finance system.
