90-Day Accountable Plan Exceptions

Overview:

Details how to enter a Spend Authorization in Workday for any 90-Day Accountable Plan Exceptions.

Security Roles

Initiator(s): Employee as Self, Expense Data Entry Specialist

Approver(s): Expense Operations Lead 

Process Considerations:

  • All reimbursable expenses (out of pocket and shared-liability card transactions) are to be submitted within 90 days from the date of purchase except for Registration Fees, Airfare, Group Airfare, Lodging, Tuition Reimbursement or any Job-Related Training, in which the expense must be submitted within 90 days of the arrival date listed in Workday. This also applies for any returned expense report, which must be resubmitted within 90 days of the expense report being sent back.
  • Exceptions will be considered tax reportable unless extenuating circumstances apply. Extenuating circumstances for employees are defined as a serious illness or other unforeseen emergency out of the control of the employee. Employee negligence and busy schedule/workload is not an extenuating circumstance.
  • Expense Operation Leads have the authority to grant exceptions.
