Using Workday for reimbursement requests

PCC now uses Workday for instructors to submit receipts for reimbursements.

As you may know, the entire College has moved to a new system called Workday. In order to request reimbursement, if you have receipts from purchasing class supplies for your Community Ed class, you’ll need to use this new system. Chrome River has been taken down.

Please familiarize yourself with the Workday system. The Expense Report/Reimbursement Tutorial video below will show you how to navigate to Workday through your MYPCC account and will walk you through the process of how to submit your receipts in an expense report.
Before You Begin
  • Make sure you know the class CRN (5 digit # listed before your class) you’re submitting receipts for as you won’t be able to get through the submittal process if you don’t have it.
  • If you teach multiple classes requiring supplies, make sure you submit all the receipts and info for one CRN at a time…each CRN is a different expense report. 
  • Make sure your photos of receipts are legible and clear and do not combine or copy them onto one sheet.
  • If the receipt is not approved for any reason, you will not be emailed about it. A “task” or message will be sent via Workday if there is any follow up you need to do with your reimbursements or may be asked to re-submit, so it’s important to check your Workday profile often.
