Payroll Training/Entering Time in UAccess
Learn how to enter and approve in in UAccess: UA Financial Services Payroll Training
For supervisors:
In 2014, College of Agriculture, Life and Environmental Sciences (CALES) Business Services came out with Best Business Practice guidelines for time approving, which endorsed supervisors being time approvers. We have adopted this into policy for a number of reasons but most importantly because approval of hours can and should only be verified by someone directly overseeing the work performed.

Tips for travel reimbursement (and expense reimbursements)
- Electronically scan your receipts and send to envs-biz@email.arizona.edu. Please mail or drop off paper receipt originals to the ENVS business office within a week of the trip. If the receipt is only received electronically, no need to print. You are done. We need paper receipts for audit purposes.
- Receipts must be itemized and show proof of payment.
- Receipts should show what was paid for and that you actually paid for it – confirmations or reservation messages are not proof of payment.
- Travel expenses must be backed up by receipts – either electronic or paper.
- The travel policy uses the accountable method from the Internal Revenue Service as its guide to proof of payment. One of the requirements under this policy is an itemized receipt. If no receipt is available, we can be required to submit a letter signed by our department head requesting reimbursement.
