Travel

The Simmons Travel policy may be found here.

Workday allows for a pre-approval before you travel which is recommended for any travel with projected expenses of $5,000 or more. Before you travel, check with your supervisor to confirm if you are required to submit a pre-approval. The process to obtain pre-approvals through Workday is through the Spend Authorization functionality. Once this pre-approval has been processed, the funds to your budget will be encumbered.
