Announcement
Direct Deposit for Reimbursement
September 2, 2024
Dear LVT Team Members,
We have enabled Direct Deposit Reimbursements (ACH) through Bill (also known as Divvy) for out-of-pocket and mileage expenses. This will allow you to get reimbursed sooner. This is not an alternative to your physical card. Out-of-pocket reimbursements should only be utilized when your physical company card is not working, or you are waiting to receive your card.
Please be aware that funds will now be sent to you via deposit, so you will need to add your bank account. If you are a budget owner, all reimbursements will require your approval. Once approved, the request will require admin approval, which will be completed on a weekly basis. Below, you will find instructions showing how to link your bank account and submit reimbursement requests.
If you have any questions, please contact Zach King or Scott Lowry in the accounting department.
