Supervisors Receive Pre-Trip Notifications
Effective March 2011, our approved travel agencies will send a copy of travel itineraries to the traveling employee's supervisor. This implementation will simulate NUFinancials and give notice of travel being charged to an NU chart string. No notices should be sent for trips not directly charged to an NU chart string.
If an employee (for whom you are a supervisor) books a trip and you do not receive an itinerary notification, or if you receive a notification in error, contact Jeff Levin at 1-5993.
