non-Johns Hopkins employees

Non Employee Expense Reimbursement

THE SITUATION: You have a non-Hopkins employee, such as a student, guest speaker, study participant, etc. who need to be reimbursed for legitimate business related expenses, either travel or non-travel.

STEP ONE: You must get them “into” the system by filling out an HR form called the Mini-Master and returning it to the Accounts Payable Shared Service Center.


Go to the Accounts Payable Shared Services Web site:http://ssc.jhmi.edu/accountspayable/index.html

Click on “Forms”


Under “Travel Forms” click on “JH Travel Mini Master Creation Request.”


Fill out the form and fax it to Accounts Payable Shared Service Center. THE FAX NUMBER IS:

443-997-3254

When completed, AP Shared Services will e-mail this non-employee’s personnel number to the person who made the request.


Click “Change Personnel Number”

Enter Personnel Number for non-employee.

Click on green check after entering in

number.

Printable report


Your non-travel business expense report is out for approval.

Key Points:

1. For the expense report to be approved, both administrative and financial approvers must approve before the approved expense report makes its way to the Accounts Payable Shared Service Center.

2. Before the AP Shared Service Center can approve the reimbursement to be made, the original receipts must be faxed to the AP Shared Service Center’s designated travel receipt fax line. Departmental policy guides who does this step, but in most cases it should be an admin or financial approver who verifies the hard copy receipts.
