4. OnePurdue J
****************
4.1: New, easier travel system coming soon: Purdue is confident that you’ll like the power and features of the new travel module. Once scheduled, a “go-live” date and training courses for travel will be.
4.2: Travel reimbursements: if not enrolled in direct deposit, any travel reimbursement checks will be mailed to your home address. If you are signed up for direct deposit, reimbursements will be made electronically to your primary direct deposit account. Although Employee Self-Service allows for the designation of a separate bank account for travel reimbursements, this feature will not be active until OnePurdue’s travel module goes live. It is important, therefore, that all employees make sure that their bank account and home address information with the University is up to date.
