Accounting: Financial Request Intake Forms-HALO
You should use HALO when reconciling expenses for reimbursement. This would include purchasing card expenses, travel expenses and hosted meals. HALO is a ticketing system that allows you to share reconciliation information with the finance team. They will enter this information on your behalf into the Workday system. If they need additional information after you have submitted your ticket, they will reach out to you.
Reconciliations are a 2 part process:
- You must submit your reconciliation within 45 days of the purchase After you submit, the financial team will enter it into Workday, you will receive a notification via email.
- You must approve this entry in Workday within 60 days of the original purchase. No receipt is needed for travel expenses under $50, as long as it is paid out of pocket and not on a purchasing card. However, we recommend that you hold onto your receipts until the reconciliation is completed.
Hosted meals are excluded from this, you MUST submit an itemized receipt when you host guest.
Most employees will use the "Expense Reimbursement and Card Reconciliations" form on HALO when submitting expenses.
