Approval of Expense Reports in New Employee Space |
|
|
|
A benefit of the new Employee Space is that expense reports and requisitions can now be completed via email, without logging into the system. As an approver of expense reports and requisitions, you may receive an email from Employee Space to review the details of the task requiring your approval, and respond with your approval/rejection/request information via email. Please reference this document, which outlines the steps for successful email approval and how to avoid an error message from Employee Space.
Additionally, we have learned that in some cases, expense reports are being routed to the incorrect approver, which is causing delays in financial transactions. Please follow the steps outlined in this guide to identify who an expense report was routed to and how to troubleshoot if it is being routed to the incorrect approver. Due to high volume, please allow up to 15 business days for your approver to be updated. Please note that the grace period for p-card reconciliation will be extended until the approver issue has been rectified.

Leah Martinez
Extended Learning Supervisor, Centennial
Students First
“Leah is a very loving and kind individual who looks out for everyone. During her time at Discovery Link at Asbury, her passion was putting our DPS children first by making sure we created a safe and inclusive space for them. Leah has now started a new school year at Discovery Link at Centennial and kicked the year off strong by making sure students were put first by offering a two-day camp for families who did not have a place for their children to attend when school had not started. Keep up the great work!”
-- Jennifer Gonzales, Edison Elementary
